It’s a track that perfectly embodies the ethos of ***TimMinchinTimeMachine***, an album that breathes new life into **a cache of unreleased songs written over 20 years ago, before Minchin’s rise to global recognition**. **Tim Minchin** said: “*Masochist is a jam track written in my early 20s, and might be unique in that it’s the only one from that era that I’ve never fallen out of love with. Sitting as it does in that place between satire and serious, it has never made it into one of my major tours… until this year. I’m stoked with this studio version, which I had taught to the boys the day before, and recorded bass, drums and guitar as live. I reckon you can feel that chaotic immediacy, yet it’s rooted in Mannell and Haselwood’s bang-in-the-pocket groove. I fkn love that groove.”* ***“The Song of The Masochist”*** follows the emotionally stirring ***“Ruby”****,* which introduced the new project with heartfelt storytelling and lyrical precision. Both tracks serve as an open invitation into **Minchin**’s vault, an anthology of formative, never-before-released works, reimagined for today. **Tim**’s new album ***TimMinchinTimeMachine*** is a **curated collection of 11 songs, some unearthed, some reshaped that offer a raw, witty, and poignant look into the songwriter he was before the world took notice**. It’s a follow-up to his **critically acclaimed debut studio album *****Apart Together*****, which earned four stars from The Independent**, praised as “*a tenderly considered pop album that subverts expectations*.” **Pre-order *****TimMinchinTimeMachine***** ****[HERE.](https://scrabblepr.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4794fdce89f5a4d847d12131f&id=f1abc0276f&e=516daed6c2)** Ahead of the release and in **celebration of 20 years since his explosive arrival** on the UK comedy scene, **Minchin **will hit the road this summer with his ironically titled tour, ***Songs The World Will Never Hear***.
