Tim Ayre Shares New EP ‘Modern Life
Today, Sydney based musician, composer and vocalist Tim Ayre shares his long awaited EP Modern Life, out via Kitsuné Musique.
The 5-track EP, featuring singles ‘Miami Drive’ and ‘Mexican Holiday’, is drenched in nostalgia. Each track takes its own form, but they are tied together by roadtrip-ready instrumentals, combined with Tim’s charismatic lyricism and charm. The release is accompanied by a nostalgic music video for the title track.
On the EP, Tim details; ‘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 travelling 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’.
