Tim Bowness launches Stupid Things trailer

Tim Bowness has released a trailer for fourth solo album Stupid Things That Mean The World.

In the clip, artist Jarrod Gosling discusses how the sleeve was developed with influences including Genesis’ Foxtrot and Roger Dean’s early work for the Vertigo label.

Gosling says: “Tim is the classic English gentleman. He’s a perfectionist, which is always good. I like things to be done properly and everything to appear correct, and Tim does as well.”

Stupid Things, the follow-up to last year’s Abandoned Dancehall Dreams, is released via InsideOut on July 17 and it’s available for pre-order now.

Bowness plays three shows next month:

Aug 25: Bristol Louisiana, UK

Aug 26: London Boston Music Room, UK

Aug 29: Ino Rock Festival, Poland

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
