Joshua Burnside announces new album, Teeth of Time
Belfast-based folk singer-songwriter Joshua Burnside has announced his newest album, Teeth of Time, alongside the release of the double A-side "Ghost of the Bloomfield Road" / "Good for One Thing".
"Ghost Of The Bloomfield Road" follows Joshua Burnside as he wanders the streets following the birth of his son. With mother and baby back home, he feels the full weight of his powerlessness, roaming the dark warrens and walkways of East Belfast like a sleep-deprived ghoul. Meanwhile, "Good For One Thing" is an imagined story of a circus performer, a young man whose worth is determined by his ability to pay bills, to entertain and amuse. A concept track that mirrors his own anxieties as a new father and a musician in a colder world.
“This album is about growing older, becoming a dad, getting by and making do. It’s about change and changeless mountains that silently watch as our short lives pass, ice sheets melt, loughs die and stars vanish. It’s about the haves and have-nots, the lucky and the damned. It’s about being stuck in traffic with a hangover, and doom scrolling at 3am. It’s about trees as gods in the imagination of a child, about lands divided, and never-ending wars fought under the banner of capitalism. It’s about Belfast, the north and about saying f*ck that to those that would divide us. It is about losing the ones we love and carrying on.”
Joshua Burnside will embark on an IE/UK tour throughout March and April 2025, with shows in Manchester, Glasgow, London, Leeds, Belfast, and many more.
