Taken from new EP ‘Modern Life’ out 16th June via Kitsuné Musique.
Australian alt-pop artist Tim Ayre returns with a brand new track ‘Modern Life’, lifted from the forthcoming EP Modern Life’ due 16th June through Kitsuné Musique. ‘Modern Life’ follows on from previous singles, ‘So Long’, ‘Miami Drive’ and ‘Mexican Holiday’, fusing elements of vibrant indie-pop hooks and candid, tongue in cheek personal observations.
On the track, Tim shares; “It’s a nice way to round out the EP with this song “Modern Life” a bit of a melancholic look at our newfound “Modern Lives” I think the video illustrates the vibe of what I was going for exactly. It really speaks for itself.”
About the EP: “I’m really proud of this EP, I feel like the intention to write music that reminded me of more positive times and this idea of traveling the world has come through. Despite the fact we’re still in this weird ongoing uncertainty I hope the record can give people a feeling of positivity. I feel like if you sit by the window and play it start to finish you can almost daydream like you went on a holiday.”
Tim Ayre is a composer, singer and songwriter based in Sydney, Australia. Known for being half of the duet Tim & Jean, Ayre is now pursuing the adventure solo. Influenced by the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Flaming Lips, Stevie Wonder or Daft Punk, he gathers all these references and encapsulates in his compositions. From his room to the studio, Tim Ayre crafts on his own luxurious dream pop blending guitar, drums, bass and synth that he all master. The result is a colourful yet nostalgic sound that borrows the authenticity of yesterday and turns it into a modern and vintage aesthetic.
Tim Ayre released his self-titled debut solo EP in November 2019 on Kitsuné Musique. Recorded in a Melbourne home studio, it was released to wide acclaim and has since received over 1.24 million streams and seen overwhelmingly positive coverage from radio stations Triple J, KCRW, BBC1xtra, and publications including Indie Shuffle, Earmilk and The Line Of Best Fit. He’s also had support from tastemakers in the space such as Roosevelt, Folamour and Touch Sensitive. Following the release of the single ‘I Want It’ in 2020 and now the latest single ‘Mexican Holiday’, Tim Ayre is shaping up for a big year ahead.
