Frontman, singer, label boss, DJ and author, he\u2019s been instrumental in so many great records over the years, always bringing enthusiasm, positivity and diversity of influence, which altogether light the way for those who hold him dear.\u00a0While in The Charlatans, Tim\u2019s indefatigable energy has been a consistent fuel for the band across thirteen high-charting albums, his solo adventure has been no less extraordinary, scaling new heights in 2020 with his fifth solo release to date: \u2018I Love The New Sky\u2019. Released via Bella Union, it features 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\u00a0way with melody.\u00a0\u00a0The twelve tunes of \u2018I Love The New Sky\u2019 were authored, he says, \u201c<em>in Norfolk, in the middle of the countryside, with the nearest shop eight miles away. 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 \u2013 just dreaming away with music.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0So far, so Laurel Canyon, though \u2018I Love The New Sky\u2019 would end up sounding anything but hippie\/folkie, thanks to a connection Tim made while living in a warehouse space in gritty Seven Sisters in North London, before heading to Norfolk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>The Quietus had their office there,\u201d<\/em> he recalls. <em>\u201cI used to know pretty much all the stuff they were writing about, but then their album of the year for 2013 was \u2018Glynnaestra\u2019\u00a0by\u00a0Grumbling Fur, and I really fell in love with it. I started talking to the band about working together. To cut a long story short I recorded a song with Grumbling Fur, they remixed two Charlatans tracks and a couple of Daniel O&#8217;Sullivan&#8217;s solo albums came out on my label.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as\u00a0arranging and production\u00a0duties on \u2018I Love The New Sky,\u2018 O\u2019Sullivan plays\u00a0bass, drums and piano, from the bouncing chamber-pop chords of <em>Sweetheart Mercury<\/em> and the punchy chorus of <em>Empathy For The Devil<\/em>, through to <em>Comme D\u2019Habitude<\/em>\u2019s juxtaposition of blissfully rolling West Coast singer-songwriting and a complex Sparks-y Broadway-esque bridge, to the Velvets-y ramalama moves on <em>Warhol Me<\/em> and <em>Undertow<\/em>\u2019s sombre balladry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album was arranged and recorded quickly but not rushed: \u201c<em>Ideas happen fast, don\u2019t they?\u201d<\/em> Tim reasons. The first sessions at Eve Studios in Stockport were with long-serving Charlatans engineer Jim Spencer. Tim, Daniel and Nik Void cut three tracks in two days, with Nik layering up modular synths in line with her previous day job in Factory Floor.\u00a0\u00a0The results are nothing short of astounding. \u2018I Love The New Sky\u2019 has landed somewhere between Paul McCartney&#8217;s \u2018RAM\u2019 and Brian Eno&#8217;s \u2018Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)&#8217; and certainly that recipe covers both the all-pervasive tunefulness and high quality. Stylistically, though, it runs the widest gamut, from <em>Empathy For The Devil<\/em>&#8216;s gospel style rockabilly skip, through to the sophisticated song-craft of <em>Sweetheart Mercury<\/em> and the Nilsson-esque <em>Sweet Old Sorry Me<\/em>, with the angst-y gravitas of <em>Undertow<\/em>, which Tim describes as \u201ca mood-changer, influenced by 10cc.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The final stages of the album\u2019s year-long narrative arc were enacted at Jet Studio in Brussels, with the Echo Collective string section. Burgess looked on \u201c<em>mesmerised at what was happening to the songs, taking an even more magical turn.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>With that icing on the cake, Tim is in no doubt that he has his finest solo record under his belt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019ll be touring the album with a live ensemble featuring Daniel O\u2019Sullivan, Thighpaulsandra, another O Genesis artiste called Keel Her, and renowned avant-jazz violinist Peter Broderick, who plays on \u2018\u2019Empathy\u2026\u2019 and will recreate the Echo Collective parts, too. So, the community will grow. Just like Tim says, \u201cthe future is friendly.\u201d\u00a0\u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.constantcontact.com\/fa31077b501\/d5eefce6-2bce-4c8f-a692-47008ff7a25f.jpg?resize=589%2C589&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Burgess I Love The New Sky album cover artwork\" width=\"589\" height=\"589\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018I Love The New Sky\u2019 track list<\/strong><br>1.
