Background

On 14 April 2022, Tim Burgess released the first single "Here Comes The Weekend", with the music video being directed by Kevin Godley.[2]

Burgess announced the release of the new double album on 6 June 2022, along with the title track "Typical Music".[1] When discussing the album, Burgess said:

"I wanted to give people everything that I’d done. And everything that I brought to the studio and worked on with the guys, I coloured them all in equally. Every idea was treated as if it was the best thing and had to be treated with extreme care. I wanted to give everything of myself"[13]

The third single "Sure Enough" was released on 23 August 2022.[3]

Critical reception

Typical Music was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 78, based on 10 reviews.[4]

Writing for The Guardian, Dave Simpson wrote: "Typical Music features Sparks-ish electronic pop, sumptuous arrangements and, on the title track, modern psychedelia. The lyrics are either endearingly gauche or deeply meaningful."[7]
