Belgium-based, California-born singer-songwriter Tucker Zimmerman has signed to 4AD and announced his debut for the label, Dance of Love. Out October 11, the record was produced by Big Thief, who also serve as his backing band alongside collaborators Mat Davidson and Zach Burba. Zimmerman’s wife Marie-Claire, who appears on the cover, contributed backup vocals. Today, Zimmerman has shared a new single, ‘Burial at Sea’, and its Noah Lenker-directed video. Check it out and find the LP’s details below.
“It was an extreme honor to make a record with one of the greatest songwriters of all time,” Big Thief said in a statement. “We believe in this music with all of our hearts, and we hope it brings you joy.”
Zimmerman had this to say:
After years of writing and filling a box with over 500 song sheets, I had finally found my path, my originality, my voice. It had become clear to me that songs of only one kind were worth spending time on: those which had a positive message and a peaceful vibration […] Just poetry. Little hums that perhaps might lift us all above our daily worries and fears, little hums that try to make the world a better place to live in.
