TIM BOWNESS SHARES NEW SINGLE ‘IDIOTS AT LARGE’

British singer, songwriter, producer, and prog pioneer Tim Bowness has shared his stunning new single ‘Idiots At Large’ today. The third single to be released from his forthcoming album Powder Dry (out 13th September on Kscope), ‘Idiots At Large’ presents an intriguing combination of delicate atmospherics and dynamic explosions to tell the story of someone drifting away from their previously safe home life and mainstream views.

 

Mixed by Bowness’s partner in no-man, Steven Wilson, the new single is accompanied by a vibrant, atmospheric visualizer created by Matt Vickerstaff.

“This is the best and most creative of all of Tim’s albums.” – Steven Wilson

 

Tim Bowness says, ‘The song is partly about eco-apocalypse and partly about someone becoming detached from their family and friends as a result of their increasingly strong beliefs (beliefs reinforced by digging deeper down the internet rabbit hole). This isn’t a commentary on the rights or wrongs of anything, it’s an observation about how idealism can alter the course of a life.’

‘Idiots At Large is definitely a combination of musical extremes – prettiness and viciousness existing side by side – with the atmospheric verses having something of the Ambient / Minimalist Classical about them and the choruses being as close as I come to Industrial / Metal.’

 

Featuring 16 pieces over its restless 40-minute duration, Tim Bowness’s eighth studio album Powder Dry represents a new beginning on a new label.

 

A collection of acute contrasts, the album is a vibrantly accessible and wildly experimental genre-blurring assault, embracing Industrial Rock, Electro Pop, singer-songwriter directness, haunted carnival soundscapes, and more.

 

Entirely produced, performed, and written by Bowness (a first), Powder Dry was mixed (in stereo and Surround Sound) by Bowness’s partner in no-man (and The Album Years podcast), Steven Wilson, who also acted as Bowness’s sounding board during the mixing process.
