Sydney-based artist and producer Timothy and the Apocalypse teased what is to come on his expansive indietronica LP, All Busted Up, by releasing the opening single, Speed of Life.
Breaking away from speculating upon collective tragedy, Tim Poulton drifted introspection through the dissociative atmosphere of grief inspired by the loss of his mother.
While the cinematically styled downbeat instrumentals set the unanchored tone, female vocals outstretch, yearning for assurance and asylum away from the fragile accommodation of reality after being confronted by the ultimate affirmation of mortality.

For anyone learning the art of losing, let the resonantly ambiguous soundscape be your ethereal guide.
Tim Poulton Said:
“The first single taken from my forthcoming album, All Busted Up, is a meditation on my own mortality following the passing of my mother.”
Amelia Vandergast, the Executive Editor at A&R Factory said:
"We have two relationships with our sense of mortality; the precursor to a close loved one dying and the void of precarious uncertainty we free fall into, never knowing if our feet will touch the ground before time runs out.
Grief will always be the hardest phenomenon to articulate; after hearing Speed of Life, Timothy and the Apocalypse proved that connecting the disjointing sensation together is within the realms of visceral lucid possibility."
