William Tyler Announces New Album
Last year, William Tyler experimented with adding electronic elements to his signature fingerpicking of his acoustic guitar on Flight Final following his collaborations with Four Tet. The Nashville guitarist/composer is exploring that sound further on his new album Time Indefinite, set for release on April 25 via Psychic Hotline.
Time Indefinite is a dense album that rewards intentional listening. In this spirit, Tyler will host a listening event at Big Ears on Wednesday, March 26, where fans can experience the album on hi-fi sound systems ahead of its release (more details to follow). Additionally, he will be performing Time Indefinite in its entirety the following day, Thursday, March 27, opening night of Big Ears 2025.
