Mary Timony has shared a new single, ‘The Guest’, which appears on Untame the Tiger, her first solo album in 15 years. Following lead cut ‘Dominoes’, the song features David Christian on drums, Brian Betancourt on bass, and Betsy Wright and Dennis Kane on backup vocals. The track comes with a video made by longtime collaborator Brett Vapnek and filmed around Santa Barbara. Check it out below.
“I was imagining loneliness as a house guest who keeps knocking on your door,” Timony said of ‘The Guest’ in a statement. “I thought it would be funny to say loneliness is the only one who always comes back.”
Of the accompanying visual, Timony added, “The first video Brett and I made together was in about 1995 for the Helium song ‘Honeycomb,’ and later she also did one for ‘Dr. Cat’ (on The Golden Dove). I also acted in a short movie she made called Dream Machine.”
