How to be Alive

After the shocking, and for many, demoralizing result of the 2016 election, 'I didn't buy the silver lining some were promoting that 'well, at least art and music will be great now!',' says Superchunk co-founder and frontman Mac McCaughan. 'Obviously, any sane person would gladly trade four to eight years of terrible music for not having our country dismantled to satisfy the whims of a vengeful child and his enablers.' That said, good music and art still have a lot to say, and the urgency of current events gave Mac, Laura, Jim, and Jon the momentum to make something new sooner than later.

Debut studio album by the Brit Award winning singer/songwriter. The album was produced by Mike Spencer (Years & Years), Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys) and Steve Mac. Tom's single 'Just You and I' is the follow-up to the global anthem 'Leave a Light On', which has sold over 800,000 units in the UK and 3 million worldwide, reaching #1 on iTunes in 20 countries, including the UK, and top ten in 44. The album title, 'What a Time to Be Alive', is taken from one of Tom's best-loved songs, 'Blessings', and is indicative of the hope and optimism that permeates this 12 track collection of original songs written or co-written by Tom and sung in his unmistakable voice.

"Tom Walker, the biggest breakout UK global star of 2018 and BRIT 2019 nominated artist, releases his eagerly anticipated debut album ‘What a Time To Be Alive’ March 1st on Relentless/Sony Music.
