The Horrors’ Joshua Hayward guests on new Tim Burgess record
He’s there alongside Ladyhawke, Debbie Googe and more.
The Horrors’ Joshua Hayward appears alongside a star-studded cast on the new record from The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess.
‘As I Was Now’ is set for release on 21st April (Record Store Day) and also features Ladyhawke on vocals, My Bloody Valentine’s Debbie Googe on bass, Primal Scream’s Martin Duffy on keys, and Klaxons drummer Steffan Halperin.
