• Track Listing

2023 release, the eagerly awaited studio release from celebrated songwriter Tim Finn (Split Enz and Crowded House). The album was written and recorded with Andy White, with whom Tim first collaborated as two-thirds of ALT, on the 1995 album Altitude, a venture which also featured Liam Ó Maonlaí, of The Hothouse Flowers (the 'L' of the ALT acronym). It was a 2019 Irish magazine interview with Liam that sparked the two into reviving a partnership that still had plenty of creative mileage. With Liam opting to sit this one out the pair decided to continue the unfinished business as a duo. Mixed by John Leckie, the legendary producer behind The Stone Roses' era-defining debut and classic new wave LPs by Magazine, XTC and Simple Minds, AT builds on the strengths of it's predecessor by embracing an even more dramatic sonic sweep. There are layers of lush multi-tracking with strings arranged by Berlin-based composer Jonathan Dreyfus. The resulting album is a remarkable pooling of resources, dominated by melodic, uplifting story-songs - it will not disappoint!
