As I was now

"This lost Burgess solo album was recorded in the dog days between Christmas and New Year in 2008, with an ad hoc indie supergroup including Horrors guitarist Joshua Hayward, My Bloody Valentine bassist Debbie Googe, Primal Scream keyboardist Martin Duffy, Klaxons drummer Steffan Halperin, and Ladyhawke on vocals ... Play it once, and you may find the needle helplessly returning to the start. For what's in essence a forgotten footnote to Burgess's output, there are some strange beasts here, set down with their skin still fresh".

"Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess did some recording with his "dream supergroup" in 2008, then forgot to release it until now. Better late than never ... Despite its impressive cast of backing musicians As I Was Now is probably the most personal, revealing music Burgess has released in a long, varied career. In that sense, it's a defining moment, even a decade on, and certainly a "lost album" worth finding".
