Prince Of Failure IS A STUDIO ALBUM FROM DANIEL TOMPKINS
(TESSERACT) & PAUL ORTIZ (CHIMP SPANNER).
Written & developed over several years with Paul Ortiz (Chimp Spanner), the album traces a long internal process rather than a single moment of inspiration. The material reflects on neurodivergence, masking, & the psychological weight of living out of alignment with expectation - themes that shape both the narrative & the sound of the record.
The Prince is presented as an archetype rather than a persona: a name given to the internal voice formed through self- doubt, perfectionism, & misinterpretation. By defining it, Tompkins reframes it. The songs move through states of disorientation, isolation, & repetition before arriving at a quieter form of acceptance. The emphasis is on observation rather than resolution.
"Rightly lauded for his supreme technical skills" CLASH
Musically, the album develops the atmosphere of Daniel Tompkins' earlier solo work into darker, more reflective territory. Paul's spacious arrangements, electronic textures & powerful guitar work sit alongside intimate, close- mic vocals, creating a strong sense of immediacy without sacrificing the dynamic scope associated with Tompkins' progressive background & work with TesseracT. The pacing is restrained & deliberate with interludes & recurring motifs reinforcing the feeling of a continuous psychological arc.
