“Tim Arnold released his ‘lockdown’ album ‘When Staying Alive’s The Latest Craze’ in late 2020; an album written, recorded and produced in the first UK lockdown. Like everyone else, Arnold’s life changed in March 2020 when the first UK lockdown was announced. He left London with a guitar, a laptop and one microphone to go into quarantine in a new family ‘bubble’ with his partner and her children in East Sussex. Having only just met the children, the album was inspired by the beginning of a new family life under unprecedented circumstances.

Each song ripples with the conflicted experiences and consequences of lockdown, separation, isolation, tragedy, and meditations upon the yawning inequality and incompetence exposed by the pandemic. While the urgency of strummed opener ‘Nothing on Earth On’ resides with the importance of human connection, possessing echoes of Radiohead and James. The insidious groove and twitchy vocals of ‘One Percent‘ which is an exploration into the government’s Behavioural Insights Team and inspired in part by author Naomi Klein’s ‘The Shock Doctrine’. Change of System is a haunting tribute to the 640 NHS frontline workers who died due to lack of PPE at the start of the pandemic. It's pulsing beat and spoken word remind one of U2‘s ‘Numb‘. Elsewhere Arnold offers a tribute to the power of music on the joyous escapist singalong ‘Another record that changed my life’. We caught up with Arnold to find out more about his very strange and difficult year. Read the full interview with @godisinthetvzine Link in Bio.
