After reeling us in with his romantic debut ?It's All About Love', Tim Oxley returns with the wonderful new album ?Kitchen Songs.' Whilst themes of heartache and happiness are revisited, Tim Oxley explores further the highs and lows of domesticity. Matters of the heart continue to inspire Tim lyically but musically ?Kitchen Songs' is more stylistically diverse. It's the perfect sequel to a successful debut and once again Tim is in fine voice on this deeply personal and heartfelt collection, full of sweet, sad, melancholy love songs.
Highlights are abound on this album with the upbeat opening track ?Stepford Husband', the melancholy of ?Drift Away' and unforgettable lines like ?If I stay too long I will love you forever? on ?Warm Night.'
The album also features homage to two great artists - ?Elliott' (a tribute to Elliott Smith who Tim has proudly been compared to) and the country tinged ?Johnny and June' (an ode to Johnny and June Cash).
Jodi Phillis (ex- Clouds) features prominently on backing vocals, guitar and piano throughout the album. ?Kitchen Songs' will undoubtedly appeal to anyone that adored 'It's All About Love' and/or The Dearhunters 'Red, Wine & Blue' album. Tim's debut received amazing reviews and was The Age newspaper and Triple R album of the week in Melbourne. ?Kitchen Songs ? confidently follows in its footsteps and introduces us to the next chapter in the Tim Oxley story.
?Kitchen Songs' released Monday October 3rd, distributed by MGM Distribution.
