Tim Finn and Phil Manzanera have just released a video for ‘Our Love’ from their forthcoming second collaboration album ‘The Ghost of Santiago’ , out 29 July. The video was directed by Stephen Langdon ,the famous Kiwi photographer \/film maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Our Love\u2019 is one of 10 songs from the album The Ghost of Santiago,<\/em> the latest album to be released by Finn and Manzanera, available from 29 July 2022 via Expression Records. It follows last year\u2019s critically acclaimed album by the two, Caught by the Heart<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music Manzanera crafted for \u2018Our Love\u2019 has a clarity and dignity about it that inspired Finn to write a song of enduring love in a time of great uncertainty. \u201cPhil\u2019s piano lines drew me in, and I sang it straight from the heart,\u201d says Finn. Adding, \u201cMarie (my wife) heard it as she walked down the hallway and immediately responded favourably. Always a very good sign!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like its predecessor The Ghost Of Santiago <\/em>was conceived during lockdown. Working in their home studios some 12,000 miles apart, Finn and Manzanera jointly wrote over 20 new songs, finding the time and space of a pandemic-restricted life leading to an incredible period of artistic creativity.  There was no end goal in sight, just the sheer pleasure of two old friends making music together.  This artistic freedom has produced songs that live in the moment. They are a moving and inspiring testament to a great singer-songwriter and composer-guitarist coming together in cyber-space and seeing where the music takes them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album track listing is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space Cannibal <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Llanto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ghost of Santiago<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esperando La Caida<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coste\u00f1o<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosemullion Head<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mal Sue\u00f1o<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falling Asleep<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curtain Call<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The songs span a range of styles and genres: rock, pop, prog, Latin, classical, chamber orchestra type pieces. No genre was off limits. All drawn from Phil and Tim\u2019s extensive musical palette, inspired by their love of music regardless of where it comes from. This coupled with Tim\u2019s extraordinary gift of telling stories through song \u2013 as well as the phenomenal range of international guest musicians – has resulted in a sophisticated, shapeshifting album and another remarkable collaboration of unique songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One critic said of last year\u2019s Caught by the Heart<\/em>: \u201cThis  really  is <\/strong>world music. The musicians are all excellent.  The melodies speak a universal language: every few minutes you come across something beautiful. Manzanera\u2019s guitar is as elegantly lucid as ever.  He leaves you looking forward to the next album with Finn.\u201d And here it is.  Many of the same musicians play on both albums with the addition of the supremely talented Portuguese singer Sonia Bernardo, on Esperando La Caida, Mal Sue\u00f1o and Coste\u00f1o, and the famous Colombian DJ Pernette who works his cumbia magic on Coste\u0144o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim Finn and Phil Manzanera met each other in Sydney in 1975, when Tim\u2019s band, Split Enz, supported Phil\u2019s band, Roxy Music, on the English band\u2019s first Australian tour. This led to Phil producing the Split Enz album \u2018Second Thoughts\u2019, when they came to the UK the following year.  Over the subsequent years, their paths would cross periodically, with Tim singing and writing songs for Phil\u2019s  \u2018K- Scope\u2019 and \u2018Southern Cross\u2019 albums, and Phil doing guest spot with Tim in the UK.  Tim and Phil last saw each other in Auckland in 2011 for The Roxy Music Reunion\u2019 tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
