Tim Burgess from Charlatans U.K. is releasing a solo record, Oh No I Love You, this fall via his label OGenesis. The record features Lambchop's Kurt Wagner, who wrote lyrics for the album. Burgess previously explained how the collaboration with Wagner came about:
The root of this album goes right back to a Kurt Wagner show in Manchester. It was the quietest yet most powerful live performance I had ever seen and afterwards I carried Kurt's guitar to the car for him. I took the chance to ask him if he would ever consider writing a song with me. "Sure Tim, you write the music and I'll write the words." That one song turned into an album and almost ten years after we first talked about it, the album is ready and it's called Oh No I Love You.
Take a listen to the song, "White" below and pre-order Oh No I Love You here. The album drops October 1st.
