Featuring 16 pieces over its restless 40-minute duration, Tim Bowness's eighth 
studio album represents a new beginning on a new label.

A collection of acute contrasts, 'Powder Dry' is a vibrantly accessible & wildly experimental genre- blurring assault, embracing Industrial Rock, Electro Pop, singer- songwriter directness, haunted carnival soundscapes & more. Entirely produced, performed & written by Bowness (a frst), 'Powder Dry' was mixed (in Stereo & Surround Sound) by Bowness's partner in no- man (and 'The Album Years' podcast), Steven Wilson, who also acted as Bowness's sounding board during the mixing process.

In addition to releasing seven studio albums & a documentary DVD with "No-Man", Tim has worked with popular Italian artist Alice (on the Italian Top 20 album 'Viaggio In Italia'), Mercury Prize nominated Banco De Gaia, Robert Fripp, Peter Hammill, Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera & many others. 

Tim's recent solo releases including 2022's critically acclaimed 'Butterfy Mind' have entered the ofcial UK Top 5 Rock, Progressive & Vinyl charts, as well as the Top 25 ofcial Scottish charts. 

'Powder Dry', Tim Bowness' eighth album is his frst solo release on the Kscope label.
