Tucker Zimmerman signs to 4AD and announces Big Thief-produced album, Dance Of Love
Belgium-based American singer-songwriter Tucker Zimmerman has signed to 4AD and announced his eleventh studio album, Dance Of Love.
A collaboration with labelmate Big Thief (who produced and performed as his backing band on the album), Zimmerman shares the first single, ‘Burial At Sea’ and companion video by Noah Lenker. “It was an extreme honor to make a record with one of the greatest songwriters of all time,” explains Big Thief. “We believe in this music with all of our hearts, and we hope it brings you joy.”
“After years of writing and filling a box with over 500 song sheets, I had finally found my path, my originality, my voice. It had become clear to me that songs of only one kind were worth spending time on: those which had a positive message and a peaceful vibration... Just poetry. Little hums that perhaps might lift us all above our daily worries and fears, little hums that try to make the world a better place to live in,” says Tucker Zimmerman.
