The electronic one-man project known as Styrofoam came to life in Antwerp, Belgium, but didn't find its feet until moving to Berlin early on, and immersing itself in the developing rock/electronic hybrid scene that was taking that city by storm in the early years of the 21st century. The sole artist behind the moniker, Arne Van Petegem, quickly built a solid following in his new home, and caught the attention of Morr Music. Styrofoam released its first album for the label, The Point Misser, in 2000, followed by a string of successful releases, including 2001's A Short Album About Murder, 2003's I'm What's There to Show That Something's Missing, and 2004's Nothing's Lost. An EP (Heart Without a Mind) followed the album releases, but it was to be the last for Styrofoam under the guidance of Morr. Although most of Styrofoam's work -- up to this point -- was purely solo work, focusing on Van Petegem's ideas and concepts in a rather intimate recording atmosphere, he did manage a handful of remixes (<a href="spotify:artist:3Ayl7mCk0nScecqOzvNp6s">Jimmy Eat World</a>, for one) and collaborations with other Morr artists (<a href="spotify:artist:1o4xLcugkCtDDOw7POAMha">Notwist</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2GkJdEJneopHc10XQV76rN">Lali Puna</a>). His next move, to the acclaimed label Nettwerk, also saw Van Petegem working with outside producers on his Styrofoam work for the first time. The 2008 full-length (and debut for Nettwerk) A Thousand Words featured the production team Wax, Ltd. and guest appearances from <a href="spotify:artist:0Zh8szcqjar4shjPoWJHTc">Jim Adkins</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:3Ayl7mCk0nScecqOzvNp6s">Jimmy Eat World</a>), <a href="spotify:artist:1HgfGD7xhAr4cF3HBVL8p6">Blake Hazard</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:38euc5ce2q2MMzaoJcPstz">Josh Rouse</a>. ~ Chris True, Rovi
