From the short, sharp shocks of "Always The Stranger" and "Only A Fool", to the long form ambition of the sensuous "Dark Nevada Dream", the cinematic electro ballroom of "Glitter Fades" and the dystopian paranoia of "Say Your Goodbyes, Parts 1 & 2", Tim Bowness forthcoming albumn "Butterfly Mind" delivers a thrilling fusion of art rock invention, post punk energy and epic soulful ballads.

Tim’s 7th solo album, his 6th for Inside Out and Sony Music, features the stellar rhythm section of Richard Jupp and Nick Beggs, alongside a spectacular generation and genre spanning guest list including Ian Anderson, Dave Formula, Peter Hammill, Martha Goddard, Gregory Spawton, Mark Tranmer, Saro Cosentino, Italian jazz musician Nicola Alesini, US singer Devon Dunaway, Stephen W Tayler, and, marking his 1st studio work with Tim for nearly 3 decades, former No-Man violinist Ben Coleman.

Produced by Tim Bowness and Brian Hulse, the album was mixed and mastered by Steven Wilson, and the stunning artwork is by Carl Glover.

Limited double CD version with alt mix of the album, an album outtake and 2 demos.

Unsettling and haunting, yet shot through with flashes of optimism and hope, "Butterfly Mind" is a vibrant offering that shows an artist unafraid to play with the possibilities of his music.
