Bowness confirms follow-up to Dancehall Dreams

Tim Bowness has confirmed his third solo album will be released via InsideOut this summer.

The follow-up to acclaimed 2014 title Abandoned Dancehall Dreams features guest appearances by Anna Phoebe, Peter Hammill and Andrew Keeling, with more to be revealed. The band includes Porcupine Tree’s Colin Edwin.

No-Man and Henry Fool member Bowness – also known for his work with Robert Fripp, Phil Manzanera and others – says: “If Abandoned Dancehall Dreams was something of a bolder and more dynamic extension of No-Man’s Schoolyard Ghosts, I’d say that the new album is something of a bolder and more dynamic extension of Abandoned Dancehall Dreams.

“A logical step forward with some surprises, I hope. It’s been really exciting working with the band on most of the pieces, and getting some special contributions from Anna, Peter and Andrew.”

Prog described Abandoned Dancehall Dreams as Bowness’ “masterpiece” and we included it in our top 20 albums of the year. More details on the follow-up will be revealed in due course.

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.
