New single 'The Economy' will be available to download on and on 7' and features a remix from Prince Fatty. 

The song is the third single from the critically acclaimed solo album 'Oh No I Love You' released in October 2012 on his own, O Genesis label.

Oh No I Love You was met with critical acclaim; Paul Weller called it "Tim's magnum opus". The Times concluded that Tim was "running Damon Albarn close for the title of busiest Britpop alumnus" and The Guardian claimed it was "Burgess at his best".

'Oh No I Love You' was co-written with Lambchop's Kurt Wagner with contributions from members of Clem Snide, Factory Floor and My Morning Jacket as well as lo fi legend R. Stevie Moore. Although a solo album it was a collaborative effort and soon enough there was a companion album, Oh No I Love You More. Remixes by friends who taken a shine to the original songs that had been recorded in Nashville.

Tim played sold out shows at The Union Chapel in London, Manchester Cathedral,The Oran Mor and The Royal Northern College of Music. The songs took on their own lease of life and before long enough remixes and alternative versions of the songs were gathered in from Tim's friends - enough for a whole album.
