Over the course of the first year of the pandemic, Tim's Twitter Listening Parties were a lifeline for many. At a time when the world shut down, we all retreated indoors, alone, and cancelled gigs were the least of our worries, the North Country Boy's idea of utilising social media to unite us round a digital turntable was inspired.

Meanwhile, Burgess was writing. And writing. And writing. From September 2020 to summer 2021, ideas poured out of Burgess. He'd been encouraged by Simon Raymonde, boss of his record label Bella Union - and, of course, a former Cocteau Twin. He applied a musician's logic: if you can't tour your last album, write a new one. Then, when you can tour again, you'll have two albums' worth of songs to play.

Well, now, arguably, Burgess has three albums' worth of songs to perform live. Typical Music is a 22-track double, a blockbuster set of songs that are as expansive and diverse as they are rich. As fun as they are funky. That embrace heartache and love. That run the gamut, from ABBA (in the shape of guest vocalist Pearl Charles, whose own brilliant Magic Mirror album is the sound of the magic Swedes doin disco) to Zappa (free-form studio experimentation is go!).
