was nominated for Best Score (Short Film) at the Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema and gained an Honorable Mention.
[2] In 2016 Thornton scored the music for another short film, The Five Wives and Lives of Melvyn Pfferberg, directed by Damian Samuels and starring Brooke D'Orsay and Callum Blue.
In 2006 Thornton was asked by a friend, singer/songwriter Fin Greenall of Fink, to contribute drums to the band's album Biscuits for Breakfast.
He has been the band's drummer ever since,[3] appearing on six studio albums for Ninja Tune: Biscuits for Breakfast (2006), Distance and Time (2007), Sort of Revolution (2009), Perfect Darkness (2011), Hard Believer (2014) and Resurgam (2017).
Perfect Darkness was described by the BBC as "a writhing, surprisingly meaty addition to the over-crowded singer-songwriter genre".
