Various Artists – Tim Burgess Listening Party: Volume 2 / Various

Demon presents the second volume of the Tim Burgess Listening Party compilation. Following on from the success of 2024's listening party, Tim is back with a further 24 eclectic cuts. This 2LP collection is pressed on blue translucent vinyl, bringing together 24 further highlights from the 1,278 Listening Parties that took place. The parties themselves were an eclectic mix of genres and eras, and the compilation reflects that with track from Paul McCartney, The Magic Numbers, Ibibio Sound Machine, Róisín Murphy, Iron Maiden, Laurie Anderson and Norah Jones. I'd done Charlatans listening parties and some solo album listening parties, and as the Twitter followers grew, I'd repeat it and do it again and again. It was maybe about a week before being told that we were going to go into a lockdown before we actually did something. I saw all the TV stuff, all the kind of crazy things that were happening and thought if there's going to be a lockdown, there's going to be something that I can do." As well Tim's Twitter Listening Party, Tim's Listening Party is also a six-part radio and podcast series airing on Sunday nights on Absolute Radio."
