Tim Burgess by Cat Stevens
It’s Tim Burgess’ sixth solo album.
Tim Burgess’ new album Typical Music is 22-track double affair which will be released on September 23rd.
The Charlatans frontman returned to Rockfield Studios in Wales for the first time since that band’s 1997 LP Tellin’ Stories was recorded there, doing so with multi-instrumentalist/producer Daniel O’Sullivan and keyboard player Thighpaulsandr to work on this collection of songs which spans many genres from pop to soul, electronica and disco.
“OK, we all know about double albums, right?,” Burgess says. “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. 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.”
