California-born, Belgium-based folk musician Tucker Zimmerman released his debut album, produced by Tony Visconti Ten songs in 1969. The album found a fan in David Bowie, and Zimmerman has continued making music in the decades since.

Some of those songs were performed with Big Thief, who are huge fans of the musician – Adrianne Lenker has called him “one of the greatest songwriters of all time.” Now the band (it’s not entirely clear whether former bassist Max Oleartchik was involved) is serving as Zimmerman’s backing band on a new album due out this fall.

Dance of Love was produced by Big Thief and they perform the music alongside collaborators Mat Davidson and Zach Burba. They also sing background harmonies along with Zimmerman’s wife Marie-Claire (who graces the cover), and Lenker’s voice can be heard loud and clear on the sleazy lead single “Burial at Sea.”

In a statement about the album, Zimmerman said:

After years of writing and filling a box with over 500 song sheets, I had finally found my way, my originality, my voice. I had realized that only one kind of songs were worth spending time on: songs with a positive message and a peaceful vibration (…) Just poetry. Little hums that could maybe lift us all above our daily worries and anxieties, little hums that try to make the world a better place to live.

In the Noah Lenker-directed video for “Burial at Sea,” Zimmerman and Big Thief record music and look pretty drunk while doing it. Check it out below, along with the Dance of Love Tracklist.
