The Charlatans UK may be forever, but not all Tim Burgess solo material is awarded the same shelf life. Today the British musician posted a new solo track titled “In May”, but warned that the song may only be on Bandcamp for a limited time.
“I’m leaving this NEW song on bandcamp for a week,” he tweeted a few hours ago. He also revealed over that he recorded the gentle, ballad-like track as a present to himself for his 48th birthday, which he celebrated on May 30.

Burgess’ last solo album, Oh No I Love You, was released in 2012. But he and the Charlatans have a busy summer ahead, including appearances at the UK’s Isle of Wright Festival (June 14) and V Festival (August 22 and 23). The enduring British rock band also makes a rare stateside appearance at Austin’s Fun Fun Fun Festival on August 11.
Maybe we’ll get a few East Coast dates around then as well. Check the Charlatans’ full run of summer dates after the Bandcamp.
