Chris Corner Got Way, Way More Crowd-Funding Money Than He Sought

May 16, 2013 @ 8:05 am By LA Weekly

For years, Berlin-based singer/multi-instrumentalist Chris Corner has been working alone. Originally from the U.K. and having first came to prominence in the 1990s as part of the electronic group Sneaker Pimps, he has self-produced his last four albums as IAMX. Sometimes, he even directed his own videos.

For IAMX’s fifth album, The Unified Field, however, Corner enlisted collaborators, including producer Jim Abbiss (Sneaker Pimps, Ladytron, Arctic Monkeys). To pay for the album, crowd-funded on PledgeMusic reaching his goal — they don’t tell you how much — within an hour, and he eventually got 817%. (Some of the money also went to videos, a tour, and a donation to Richard Dawkins’ foundation.) We chatted with him about all of this ahead of his show at the Fonda tonight.
