Ascent Of The Ascended

• Track Listing

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 EP from the Charlatans frontman, the follow-up to his I love The New Sky album. "There was an energy that came from recording the album with such a brilliant band - I didn't want it to end, I wanted to record a bit of a magnum opus, which is where Ascent of the Ascended came in," he continues. "I'd always wanted to work with Charles Hayward from This Heat, so we have him a ring and he said yeah. With 'Yours. To Be' being almost like an instant feeling you get in a moment, very rarely in your life - the two songs are so different but they somehow complement each other. So, an EP was the perfect idea. We played four shows in New York before lockdown happened - so our session for Paste Magazine was such a rare event, we've included the songs to complete the EP." - Tim Burgess.
