Tim Burgess announces new album ‘I Love The New Sky’

Announcing news of his fifth solo album, Tim Burgess’ new’un ‘I Love The New Sky’ is set to land on 22nd May via Bella Union, promising to deliver “wonderfully connective songs of everyday minutiae and universal experience, of love and anger, of loss and belonging, all united by elaborate yet natural arrangements and an effortless way with melody”.

Written in Norfolk, Tim says of the process: “There are no distractions, and I guess that way things happen. I wrote everything on acoustic guitar, and the chords were really considered. The guitar lines would lead the melody, and the melody would inform the lyrics – just dreaming away with music.”

To celebrate the news, Tim is also unveiling the wild video for lead single ‘Empathy For The Devil’, which sees Tim taking pity on the titular bad guy after a wedding ceremony gets violent.
