Nashville-based guitarist/composer William Tyler has announced Time Indefinite, his new album out April 25th, and has released the first three pieces of music on the album, a suite of sorts: “Cabin Six,” “Concern,” and “Star of Hope.” All three pieces are accompanied by short films compiled entirely from Tyler’s old family home movies. On the brilliant, bracing, and inexorably beautiful Time Indefinite, Tyler’s first solo album in six years, he steps at last into the widening gyre he helped create. The guitar serves as a starting point for an album that will make you reconsider not only Tyler but also the possibilities and reach of an entire field. A vortex of noise and harmony, ghosts and dreams, anguish and hope, Time Indefinite is not a great guitar record. It is a stunning record—a masterpiece of our collectively anxious time, really—by a great guitarist.
Time Indefinite is a dense album that rewards intentional listening. In this spirit, Tyler announces three listening events where fans can experience the album on hi-fi sound systems at Public Records in Brooklyn, In Sheep’s Clothing in Los Angeles, and Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN ahead of its release. A full list of dates can be found below.
