Tim Bowness To Release New Album 'Lost In The Ghost Light' In February
Thursday, 01 December 2016
Written by Laura Johnson
Tim Bowness will release his fourth solo album early next year.
‘Lost In The Ghost Light’, the follow up to 2015's ‘Stupid Things That Mean The World’, is due to arrive on February 17 through InsideOutMusic.
In a statement about the record's concept, Bowness said:
“It all started with me seeing a sixty something jogger in an expensive tracksuit rifling through the vegetable racks at my local Co-Op. His intense glare combined with his thinning long grey hair and Mick Fleetwood beard left me wondering which veteran Rock band he’d once played with. This got me thinking about the moment when music first came into this person’s life and whether it still informed his music making in the present. Other questions followed about the tensions between commerce and art, career and idealism: Could the creative ‘spark’ be lost then re-discovered?; What were the costs of dedicating a life to music and how much did ‘real’ life get in the way of the ‘magic’?; What was the effect of the changing nature of the industry on music itself as physical objects d’art became unpaid streams?; Were, as Brian Eno suggested, professional musicians like blacksmiths, echoes from another age and, if so, what was the impact of that realisation on a performer playing to an ageing crowd? Clearly, I thought too much!”
