Tim Burgess has announced a new solo album.
'I Love The New Sky', the follow-up to 2018's 'As I Was Now', will arrive on May 22 through Bella Union. Unlike it's predecessors, all tracks were written solely by Burgess, though there are musical contributions from Thighpaulsandra, the Echo Collective string section and Grumbling Fur's Daniel O'Sullivan, who also produced the record.
Head below to watch the captivating video for the album's first single, Empathy For The Devil, an eclectic indie-pop track that features O’Sullivan on bass, drums and piano.
The Charlatans vocalist will support the record with a UK tour of intimate venues, kicking off at the Think Tank in Newcastle on May 1 and concluding on June 20 at YES in Manchester. The trek follows March shows in New York and Austin. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on February 14.
