Tim Minchin Teases New Album 'Time Machine' With New Single The Song Of The Masochist

Tim Minchin has shared a second track from his upcoming studio album.

A blend of dark humour and tongue-in-cheek lyricism, The Song of The Masochist fuses elements of jazz, blues and rock with a lively piano-led groove. Minchin said:

"Masochist is a jam track written in my early 20s, and might be unique in that it’s the only one from that era that I’ve never fallen out of love with. Sitting as it does in that place between satire and serious, it has never made it into one of my major tours... until this year. I’m stoked with this studio version, which I had taught to the boys the day before, and recorded bass, drums and guitar as live. I reckon you can feel that chaotic immediacy, yet it’s rooted in Mannell and Haselwood’s bang-in-the-pocket groove. I fkn love that groove."

It'll appear on 'Time Machine', due out on July 25 via BMG, along with the previously unveiled first single, Ruby, which arrived with details of the record in April.

Ahead of the LP's release, the Australian singer-songwriter and comedian will embark on his Songs The World Will Never Hear Tour across the UK in early June. The trek celebrates 20 years since his arrival on the British comedy scene, and includes three shows at London's Eventim Apollo. Tickets are on sale now.
