█ Tim Bowness announces the release of his fourth █
█ solo album, Lost In The Ghost Light. Released on █
█ 17th February 2017, through InsideOutMusic, the █
█ album has been mixed and mastered by Steven Wilson █
█ and is unlike any in TimÆs back catalogue. █
█ Bowness utilises a core band comprising Stephen █
█ Bennett (Henry Fool), Colin Edwin (Porcupine █
█ Tree), Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief), Hux █
█ Nettermalm (Paatos) and Andrew Booker (Sanguine █
█ Hum), and is also joined by guests including Kit █
█ Watkins (Happy The Man/Camel), Steve Bingham █
█ (no-man) and the legendary Ian Anderson (Jethro █
█ Tull). Andrew Keeling (Robert Fripp/Hilliard █
█ Ensemble/Evelyn Glennie) arranges for string █
█ quartet and flute on three of the albumÆs songs. █
█ Lost In The Ghost Light is a concept album █
█ revolving around the onstage and backstage █
█ reflections of a fictional æclassicÆ Rock musician █
█ in the twilight of his career. Ranging from the █
█ hypnotic opener Worlds Of Yesterday to the wistful █
█ climax of Distant Summers, via the thrilling rage █
█ of Kill The Pain ThatÆs Killing You and the █
█ orchestral expanse of YouÆll Be The Silence, the █
█ album features some stunning solos and █
█ harmonically rich compositions that represent █
█ BownessÆs most musically ambitious work to date. █
█ Lyrically, the album addresses how the era of █
█ streaming and ageing audiences affects creativity, █
█ how a life devoted to music impacts on real / █
█ family life, and how idealistic beginnings can █
█ become compromised by complacency and the fear of █
█ being replaced by younger, more vital artists. █
█ Tim elaborates: ôIt 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 heÆd █
█ once played with. This got me thinking about the █
█ moment when music first came into this personÆs █
█ 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 æsparkÆ be █
█ lost then re-discovered?; What were the costs of █
█ dedicating a life to music and how much did ærealÆ █
█ life get in the way of the æmagicÆ?; What was the █
█ effect of the changing nature of the industry on █
█ music itself as physical objects dÆart 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!ö █
