Tim Burgess - I Love The New Sky LP
"I Love The New Sky" differs from its predecessors in that all twelve tracks were self-penned. "I Love The New Sky" lands somewhere between Paul McCartney's "RAM" and Brian Eno's "Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)" and certainly that recipe covers both the all-pervasive tunefulness and high quality.
Stylistically, though, it runs the widest gamut, from Empathy For The Devil's gospel style rockabilly skip, through to the sophisticated song-craft of Sweetheart Mercury and the Nilsson-esque Sweet Old Sorry Me, with the angst-y gravitas of Undertow, which Tim describes as “a mood-changer, influenced by 10cc.”
