Tim Burgess announces new solo album
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 7 June 2022
Tim Burgess has announced that he will release a new solo album, ‘Typical Music’, on 23 Sep through Bella Union.
It’s 22 tracks long. And before you say anything about that, here’s Tim: “OK, we all know about double albums, right? Historically, they’ve been thought of as indulgent. But I came to the conclusion that what I was doing was the opposite of that. I wanted to give people everything that I’d done. Every idea was treated as if it was the best thing and had to be treated with extreme care. I wanted to give everything of myself. That was it”.
“I fell in love with the world again”, he goes on. “During COVID, I read a pile of books, got better on guitar. I had new perspective. I wanted to learn how to be Tim Burgess who makes solo records. People have a vision of me as the singer in The Charlatans. That’s not going to change. Then there’s me as the Twitter guy. But I just fell in love with the world again and wanted the world to take me with them”.
I can’t tell you what all 22 tracks of Tim Burgess’s everything will be like, but the album’s title track is out now:
