Artichoke is an indie pop band in Los Angeles. Formed in 1999 by Timothy Sellers, the band is best known for their concept albums.[1][2][3]

In 2005, Artichoke’s “26 Scientists: Volume One Anning - Malthus” was featured in the science section of the “New York Times” in an article about the emerging songs-of-science micro-niche, as spearheaded by such artists as They Might Be Giants and Tom Lehrer.[4]

In 2010, Lisa Carver of the “LA Weekly” wrote about Artichoke’s family album “26 Animals” and described their sound as “music for kids and drunks.”[5]

In 2011 Sellers was the songwriter in residence for NIMBioS, National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis.[6][7]

In March of 2018, “Echoes”, an album including ten stylistically tweaked cover songs, reached #71 on north American college radio.[8]
