Thomas Truax is an American singer-songwriter, animator, and inventor of experimental musical instruments known for his experimental rock and rock music. He first gained prominence as a solo performer in the 1990s in New York City, emerging from the antifolk movement centered around the Sidewalk Cafe on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Truax's breakthrough came after years of fronting bands, notably Like Wow, leading him to create unique instruments and embark on a distinctive musical direction. His first two albums, Full Moon Over Wowtown (2002) and Audio Addiction (2005), were followed by his third album Why Dogs Howl at the Moon in 2007. He later released Songs from the films of David Lynch in 2009 and composed a live score for Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt at the Theater Dortmund in 2013.
