c.layne started out with indie rock band The Naïve, but soon went on to writing solo work. His limited-release first album, Albumone, was entirely instrumental.
He spent the next two years writing a second album and recording hundreds of tracks, but they were ultimately scrapped in favor of another album entirely. Antonymic was recorded over a four day period in the summer of 2003. The mid-fi recording and lavish use of reverb gives this album a modern psychedelic feel. Work on the next album began almost immediately and Drawing Shapes with Sounds, was released later that year. This album explores much darker musical and lyrical themes.
In the winter of 2003, c.layne signed with Magnatune and compilation album, Potemkin Villages was released featuring a mixture of tracks from both Antonymic and Drawing Shapes with Sounds, as well as some new material.
In the early months of 2004, c.layne paired up with artist and producer Victor Stone of fourstones.net to produce his third album, The Sun Will Come Out to Blind You. Writing, recording and production went on throughout the year and the album was released on Magnatune in January of 2005. Stones' production gave the album a slicker, slightly more downtempo finish to this album— one that is meant to be listened to at night.
