Set for release on 16<sup>th<\/sup> August, the album will be Bowness\u2019s first release on the Kscope label. The first single from Powder Dry is the propulsive Rock Hudson, a paranoid ode to online discourse. Produced and performed by Tim Bowness and mixed by his partner in no-man Steven Wilson, the song is accompanied a vibrant abstract video by Matt Vickerstaff, which echoes Carl Glover&#8217;s artwork for the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bowness says of the song, <em> Like all of the album Powder Dry, the song resulted from an attempt to capture a fleeting feeling as accurately as I could. This time the mood was dark, and there&#8217;s something of the spiky Post-Punk and Electro-Pop music of the early 1980s that captivated me as a teenager in the mix. Joy Division, The Cure, The The etc? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the video for Rock Hudson here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2bFM-4x_WqQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Featuring 16 pieces over its restless 40-minute duration, Tim Bowness\u2019s eighth studio album Powder Dry represents a new beginning on a new label.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A collection of acute contrasts, the album is a vibrantly accessible and wildly experimental genre-blurring assault, embracing Industrial&nbsp;Rock, Electro Pop, singer-songwriter directness, haunted carnival soundscapes and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entirely produced, performed and written by Bowness (a first), Powder Dry was mixed (in stereo and Surround Sound) by Bowness\u2019s partner in no-man (and The Album Years podcast), Steven Wilson, who also acted as Bowness\u2019s sounding board during the mixing process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8216;I\u2019ve had the pleasure to work on most of Tim\u2019s solo albums, and for me this is the best and most creative of them all, partly because this time it\u2019s truly a &#8216;solo&#8217; album, showcasing not only his unique vocals, but also his distinctive approach to production and performance.
