TOLMAN - Chaperone

Introducing TOLMAN, a promising new duo comprised of Brittany and Andrew Tolman. Having first met as college students, the two quickly fell in love and formed a jazz band. Soon after getting married, they became full-time members of the chart-topping, pop rock act Imagine Dragons (Andrew on drums, Brittany on keys/backing vocals) and performed in various other bands such as The Moth & The Flame and Mount Saint. Eventually the pair decided to create a project featuring just the two of them. Aptly using their surname, TOLMAN, as their new moniker, they create soaring alt-pop with a riveting edge merged with layered retro synths, solid danceable drums, and a very lush voice which you can hear on their debut single "Chaperone", co-produced by D. Wayne Sermon (of Imagine Dragons), co-engineered by Patrick Tetreault (Priory, The Features), and mixed by Greg Giorgio (The National, The Head and the Heart, Kurt Vile).

Speaking on the track, Brittany says:

"'Chaperone' is about being independent and recognizing your own worth, even when somebody else can't. One afternoon, we had an intense conference call and I stuck up for myself and it felt really empowering. We were both fired up and needed a way to express our frustration so we immediately went to our Moog synthesizer and wrote the song’s bass line and chorus vocals. It was very cathartic."
