Another World is Tim Arnold's 8th solo album and the 6th he has released in the last 18 months. The laptop he recorded them on is finally at the end of it's tether, unlike Arnold, Starting out as the front-man of 90's Britpop band Jocasta (Sony), Arnold's unconventional career trajectory has seen him play the indie pop contender, theatre composer (Shakespeare's Globe), song writer (V2 Music), producer (Universal) and solo performer.
By his own admission, Another World is the album that Tim Arnold has always wanted to make, particularly in his role as a string arranger. This album has shades of Damien Rice, Nick Drake, Cat Stevens and a deliberate nod to Michael Nyman, particularly on the closing track, Feeling The Change Inside. Another World was made with the kind of DIY initiative that is so often applauded these days, although it was not really a matter of choice. Despite being well known throughout the echelons of the British music industry, this album has been made entirely independently. Whatever the reason, it has not disheartened this tenacious solo artist from making album after album, resulting, now, in his best work to date. The contributing musicians are some of the finest in London, who usually play for more popular artists. Cellist Nick Holland (Michael Nyman, Balanescu Quartet), violinist Jonathan Hill (Feeder,Travis,) and Anna Phoebe (Nitin Sawney, Oi Va Voi). Their involvement in the album is one of loyal support for one of the UK's most dedicated and prolific singer songwriters. It's also worth mentioning that, with the exception of upgrading memory for the Laptop that the album was made on, no money was spent on the making of it. The album will be available from October 9th on iTunes, 7 Digital and is also one of the first albums to be released by Peter Gabriel's new ads revenue supported label, We7. |
