Alternative rock artist Tim Gambles unveils his powerful new single ‘Gravedigger’, with a short film out on YouTube on the 3rd of December, and the single available on all streaming platforms on the 10th of December! The single will be followed by a series of UK shows and an EU tour in 2026.
Written about the emotional fallout of a toxic relationship, ‘Gravedigger’ explores vulnerability and manipulation from someone finding you at your lowest and turning it to their advantage. Yet, Gambles encourages listeners to forge their own emotional connection to the song, inviting personal interpretation.
The track highlights another dimension of Gambles’ artistry; his striking vocals wrapped in a vibrant, thunderous alt-rock soundscape. The single proved a fan favourite at a sold out Sofar Sounds Newcastle show, leaving audiences both captivated and converted.
For the video of ‘Gravedigger’, Gambles worked with his friend, video- and photographer Krzysztof Furgala, as well as artist and painter Richard Ellis. He met Ellis through the live music scene, where Ellis can often be found painting performing artists on the spot.
Tim on the video for ‘Gravedigger’: “‘Gravedigger’ is about two conflicting parts that can make up a person. That is what the whole video is about; for everyone there is a dark and a lighter side. This video is about letting that darker side take over more and more, even though maybe you shouldn’t… The video depicts that darkness taking over and becoming the main part of you. The girls that you see in the video, they’re society or maybe even your friends and family, watching as things unfold. They either don’t realise what is happening or don’t know how to do anything about it, and this can feel isolating and perpetuate the darkness takeover. The scenes in which we see Richard the painter show this lighter side, while at the end we realise there has always been a dark shadow watching over you…”
