Time. Space. Repeat. - Bossa Never [SINGLE]

Time. Space. Repeat.: This is a solo musical project that originated in Brighton, UK, around 2004. It has produced several EPs and albums, with the most recent one being "Oneironaut" in 2021.

2023 Album Writing Challenge: In May 2023, Time. Space. Repeat. took part in the Lights and Lines #albumwritingchallenge. The goal was to write and record a full album in just one month.

Public Vote and Winning Single: As part of the challenge, singles from each album were subject to a public vote. Time. Space. Repeat. won over 15% of the total votes with the single "Bossa Never," which is being released to the public on 11th August.

About ‘Bossa Never’: The song is an energetic fusion of bossa nova and shoegaze styles. It features elements reminiscent of the guitar work in Mogwai and Spiritualized, lead bass of New Order, and marimbas from Carl Orff.

Cover Artwork: The album's cover was designed by the artist's 14-year-old daughter. It aims to evoke a retro-futuristic vibe, inspired by Bauhaus prints, with colors harkening back to the 1960s—when bossa nova first gained popularity.

Reason for Releasing 'Bossa Never' as First Single: This song was chosen as the first single for the upcoming album because of its catchy and upbeat nature. It's seen as an accessible entry point for listeners who enjoy unconventional instruments, synths, and shoegaze guitars. The song also fits within the album's broader narrative, representing the optimistic hedonism of the album's first half.
