Early life and musical influences

McGarvey grew up in the Shropshire countryside. [1] His interest in music began at the age of 12 when he started playing a piano in the basement of his family home. After having some music lessons, he preferred playing by ear and began writing his own songs. He has described how songwriting helped him to come to terms with his sexuality as a young teenager. [2]

He told DNA Magazine in 2021 how he always loved 1980s music: "When I was a teenager in the '90s I was particularly uncool because the '80s were so unfashionable at that point. When I was 16 and went to college I got into a lot of alternative singer-songwriters like Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Björk and PJ Harvey. I pretty much taught myself how to play piano by sitting down and working out their songs". [3] After college he went on to study contemporary music at university.

Too Busy Framing (2008–2009)

Following his university studies, McGarvey moved to Manchester where he wrote and recorded songs in his bedroom. In February 2008, he self-financed his debut album Too Busy Framing (released under his own name). Clash described the album as "carefully constructed, layered compositions with as much in common with Múm as David Gray and his ilk". [4] Manchester Evening News described McGarvey's songs as being "full of strange, hypnotic loops and samples, and the lonesome, existential imagery of his lyrics brings to mind a young Morrissey". [1]

McGarvey has described how he sampled gay porn movies for the song "Lust": "creating the song's rhythm section from sounds created during intercourse". [5]

Another of the album's songs "Disjointed" refers to serial killers Fred and Rose West. [6]

In 2013, The 405 retrospectively praised Too Busy Framing stating that "As far as debut albums go, it remains an underrated hidden gem and continues to age rather well." [6]

The Spiels (2010–2013)

In 2010 McGarvey formed a band namedThe Spiels (an abbreviation of "glockenspiels" [7] ) with singer-songwriter Ryan Lamey. The pair originally met when Lamey recruited some of McGarvey's backing band members for his own solo project. [8] They later came to work together when Lamey replied to an advert McGarvey placed on Gumtree looking for musical collaborators [9] and the project evolved into a 5 piece band [7] ). Manchester Evening News described their music as "alternative folk-pop of infinitely dark hue" comparing their work to that of Arcade Fire, Kate Bush and Antony and the Johnsons. [8]

The Spiels released their debut EP Nightvision Part 1 in January 2013. [10]

Last Things (2012–2014)

In 2012 McGarvey adopted the psydonymn of Minute Taker and released the EP Postlude. [10] In reference to his change of artist name, McGarvey revealed in an interview with The 405 that "I never really felt comfortable using my own name". He described how he'd spent time working in offices as a Minute Taker and was drawn to the name because it simultaneously sounded "mundane and fantastical". [6]

On 15 April 2013, McGarvey released his second solo album Last Things. He provided interviews for several publications, including Notion, Attitude, Gay Times and The 405. The latter featured two videos of McGarvey's performing "Somewhere Under Water" (from Last Things) and a cover version of Pet Shop Boys' "Heart" using piano, voice and various electronic instruments including a synthesizer and a loop pedal.

Last Things received favourable reviews. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] As part of a feature on Minute Taker, Notion described Last Things as "A beautiful collection of electronic-orientated pop songs that sound like old recordings that have been rediscovered and restored by a renegade computer; glitching and looping." [16]

Three promotional singles from the album were released: "Merge", "Let It Go" and "Alkali". [17] In February 2014, the 405 premiered Minute Taker's first music video for "Alkali", which incorporates clips from the 1922 expressionist film Nosferatu interwoven with degraded self-portrait footage and silent film-era narrational captions. [18] "Skeleton Dance" (the b-side to "Alkali") has been played by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music. [19] Robinson also played "Merge" as part of a Kate Bush special show, citing McGarvey as a new artist who has been influenced by Bush's music. [20]

HOAX My Lonely Heart (2014–2017)

McGarvey composed the music for a stage musical Hoax: My Lonely Heart, which was shown at Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre in June 2014. Written by Ravi Thornton, HOAX is a cross-media project consisting of the stage musical HOAX My Lonely Heart and accompanying graphic novel HOAX Psychosis Blues. The musical, directed by Benji Reid, was described on the Royal Exchange Theatre's website as "a dark musical fuelled by those most destructive of tendencies: love and self-sabotage". [21] The story is based on the experiences of Ravi Thornton's younger brother Roabbi (aka Rob) who committed suicide in 2008 at the age of 31 after having suffered a long battle with schizophrenia. [22] [23] McGarvey created the music live on stage using a loop pedal, piano and vocal harmonies to accompany the actors who sang the lead parts. [6]

Minute Taker toured the North of England with the show in Spring 2017 culminating at The Lowry, Salford. [24]

In 2018, the HOAX project was nominated for a National Lottery Good Causes Award. [25]

To Love Somebody Melancholy (2015–2017)

McGarvey premiered audio-visual show To Love Somebody Melancholy at Chorlton Arts Festival in May 2015. A collaboration with illustrator/animator Ana Stefaniak, the show was described by the Chorlton Arts Festival website as "a story told through a contemporary song cycle and projected photographic animations, exploring the melancholic temperament of artists". [26] [27] Minute Taker toured To Love Somebody Melancholy across the UK in 2017.

Reconstruction and Secret Songs (2017–20)

Minute Taker released the mini-album Reconstruction on 20 November 2017. The 405 premiered the opening track "In Slow Motion" on 14 November. The release features a cover version of the Pet Shop Boys song "Heart", which Minute Taker had recorded as a performance video for The 405 in 2013. [28] He released three singles from the album: "Nothing to Fear", "Reservoir", and "The Weight of It All". In a review of the latter, God Is in the TV stated "Imagine a meeting of Alison Moyet and Doves, you get echoes of Kate Bush in the percussion and piano, and washes of Mancunian melancholy everywhere – the warmth is almost tangible." [29] Minute Taker supported the mini-album release with a tour of British churches in February 2018.

In late 2017, Minute Taker announced Secret Songs, a subscription plan service that includes albums of unreleased material. Secret Songs Volume 1: Songs for Lost Lovers was released on 11 January 2018, followed by Volume 2: Almost on 25 May 2018, Volume 3: Covers on 3 December 2018, Volume 4: Office Daydreams on 17 May 2019, Volume 5: Early Songs on 5 December 2019, Volume 6: Remixes on 19 August 2020, Volume 7: Piano Songs on 14 December 2020 and Volume 8: Soon After Dark on 7 October 2021. [30]

Minute Taker remixed Yazoo's song "Winter Kills" for the band's Four Pieces: A Yazoo Compendium 4LP Vinyl Boxset which was released on Mute Records/Sony BMG on 26 October 2018. [32] The Quietus premiered the remix on 20 September 2018. [33]

Minute Taker remixed Erasure's song "Home" for the band's reissued Chorus released on 14 February 2020 on BMG UK. [34]

Wolf Hours (2019–23)

In April 2019, Minute Taker announced the audiovisual show Wolf Hours, exploring the psyches of several gay men at different points in time over the past century, supported by Arts Council England and Superbia at Manchester Pride. [35] The show premiered at Waterside Arts, Manchester in July 2019 at part of the "REFRACT:19" festival of experimental arts and was later performed at several other venues in late 2019 to early 2020 including Manchester's Hope Mill Theatre as part of their 2020 "Turn On Fest" LGBTQ+ theatre festival. [36] [37]

On 9 October 2019, Minute Taker released the single and music video from Wolf Hours named "Hearts (We'll Never Know)", inspired by 1970s/1980s horror movies. [38]

Portsmouth FC showed the video for "Not Afraid", the second single from Wolf Hours at a football match on 7 December 2019 to promote LGBTQ inclusion in football in support of Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign. [39] The video was directed by John Lochland (JL2 Productions) and explores the experiences and daydreams of a young gay footballer. Minute Taker publicly released the video on New Year's Day 2020. [40]

"The Darkest Summer", the third single from the album was released on 12 August 2020 with a music video directed by Joe Stringer, set on a beach in the 1980s.

It was accompanied by a music video, directed by John Lochland and starring Solly McLeod, depicting a relationship between two World War 1 soldiers. [43] [44]
