Tim Bowness recently announced the release of his third solo album, “Stupid Things That Mean the World”, for release on the 17th July 2015 and he can now confirm the first live dates in support of it.
Two UK dates have been confirmed as well as an appearance at Polish festival Ino Rock. Support on the two UK shows comes from Improvizone.
The full details are below:
25th August - The Louisiana, Bristol, UK - tickets
26th August - Boston Music Room, London, UK - tickets
29th August - Ino Rock Festival, Poland - tickets
He is also pleased to reveal the second track to be taken from the album, and you can view a lyric video for the track “Press Reset” below.
Tim had this to say: “"Press Reset" was one of the first songs I wrote for "Stupid Things That Mean the World" and it was something that felt different immediately. The band fleshed out my demo and produced some really interesting and powerful performances (from Colin Edwin's atmospheric Ebow bass parts to Andrew Booker's inventive drum patterns and the very direct guitar contributions from Bruce Soord).
Lyrically, the song deals with a person on the verge of escaping from the pressures of their life.
The almost 'Ambient' lyric video is by We Do Band Stuff and I think it's something that's all the better for its stylish simplicity”.
The beautiful artwork for the album was once again done by I Monster's Jarrod Gosling. The album will be available as Double CD Media book featuring a companion disc of alternate mixes and demos (including an unreleased No-Man demo from 1994), as well as a gatefold vinyl LP with CD & digital download.
“Abandoned Dancehall Dreams” was released last year to critical acclaim, with Classic Rock calling it a 'cinematic, contemporary classic' and Prog Magazine naming it 'arch art-progger Bowness's masterpiece'. The album also reached the top 20 of the UK rock album charts upon release, and was subsequently included in Prog Magazine's critics' choice top 20 of 2014.
Tim Bowness is primarily known as vocalist/co-writer with the band No-Man, a long-running collaboration with Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree). In addition to releasing six studio albums and a documentary DVD with No-Man, Tim has worked with popular Italian artist Alice, Robert Fripp, Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine), OSI and Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera (amongst many others), and is a member of the bands Henry Fool and Memories Of Machines.
