Tim Burgess announces new EP with lead track "Yours. To Be"
Tim Burgess has returned to announce details of his upcoming EP The Ascent Of The Ascended, which arrives with the lead single "Yours. To Be".
"Yours. To Be" is Burgess' first new single since releasing his I Love The New Sky album in May.
Burgess says of the new song, "At the tail end of the glory of the night before - with all the hope and beauty that the following morning brings. Away from the glare of the party - like the calm after the storm has left town. It’s a feeling that’s so pure and uncluttered. It’s around a while, then real life starts to creep back in. It’s all about making the most of moments as they are happening."
The Ascent Of The Ascended will feature one other new track, as well four songs recorded live in session for Paste Magazine back in March.
Burgess adds of the EP, "There was an energy that came from recording the album with such a brilliant band - I didn’t want it to end, I wanted to record a bit of a magnum opus, which is where Ascent of the Ascended came in. I’d always wanted to work with Charles Hayward from This Heat, so we have him a ring and he said yeah. With "Yours. To Be" being almost like an instant feeling you get in a moment, very rarely in your life - the two songs are so different but they somehow complement each other. So an EP was the perfect idea."
He continues, "We had so many plans for playing live this year - from South by Southwest to Glastonbury and everything in between. But that wasn’t to be. We played four shows in New York before lockdown happened - so our session for Paste Magazine was such a rare event, we’ve included the songs to complete the EP."
