Prince Of Failure

Limited Cream White Vinyl edition

Prince of Failure - the new studio album from Daniel Tompkins (TesseracT) & Paul Ortiz (Chimp Spanner).

‘Prince Of Failure’ marks a significant shift in Daniel Tompkins’ creative world. 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.

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.

The decision to release the record under the name ‘Prince Of Failure’ reflects the collaborative identity of the project & separates it from Tompkins’ previous roles. It allows the work to exist on its own terms, without reference to past expectations. The ‘Prince Of Failure’ now stands as an official creative partnership between Tompkins & Ortiz, a shared vision with long-term intent.
