Release Notes:
Increasingly influential cult singer Chris T-T returns with the release
of his new album Love Is Not Rescue.
Released on 15 March 2010 through Xtra Mile Recordings, Love Is Not
Rescue is T-TÆs 7th studio album since 1999 and his second release for
Xtra Mile. It was recorded in four days, primarily in rural Norfolk
with MagooÆs Owen Turner (Bearsuit, Kaito) plus a session in Los
Angeles with Gus Seyffert (Sia, Norah Jones, Flight Of The Conchords).
æLove Is Not RescueÆ shows a change of direction from 2008Æs rockier,
heavier Capital, the final part to his acclaimed London Trilogy. With
this album, Chris focuses more on personal themes û love and the
complexities of relationships û stripping back his sound and laying
bare private lyrics over delicate melodies to create courageous, honest
songs from the heart. It is a return to Chris's original visceral
yearnings of love and loss; ôBritish popÆs street-poet laureate and
unsung geniusö (The Sunday Times) has produced a beautifully
introspective and pensive album.
The stunning album opener Nintendo will precede the release on 8 March
as a download only single.
Playing piano, electric and acoustic guitar (although not all at the
same time) his UK tour of intimate gigs will highlight ChrisÆs wide and
varied talent that has created a diverse career spanning seven studio
albums.
The past two years have been pivotal for Chris T-T. Capital û released
in March 08 through Xtra Mile Recordings û garnered a wealth of
fantastic reviews from the press, including Q, Plan B, Sunday Times, Q,
and NME as well earning him radio sessions on 6Music with Marc Riley,
Radio 1 with Huw Stephens and an Xposure Session on XFM with John
Kennedy. He played to over 15,000 people throughout the year in the UK,
Europe and USA with sold out headline tours, SXSW Æ09 & UK festival
appearances in the summer and as a special guest pianist in the Frank
Turner Band.
"The genius of Chris T-T's songwriting is his ability to humanise even
the most outlandish conceits. They seem instead like brilliant ideas
that no-one else could've come up with." The Guardian
