Damon Albarn Has A New Album Out Tomorrow: "Merrie Land" (The Good, The Bad & The Queen); Spent Today Remembering The Greatness Of "Everyday Robots" (2014)

Damon Albarn, Everyday Robots (2014): "Everyday Robots", "Lonely Press Play", "Mr. Tembo", "Heavy Seas Of Love":



Damon Albarn has a new album out tomorrow with his supergroup The Good, The Bad & The Queen, which consists of Damon (vocals, keyboards), Paul Simonon of The Clash on bass, drummer Tony Allen of Fela's band, and The Verve's Simon Tong on guitar.

Merrie Land (2018) is their second album. Their first one came out in 2007. Merrie Land is produced by Tony Visconti, who archived fame as the producer of David Bowie's most seminal work. The songs are said to be a reflection of a post-Brexit England; especially the North, and is nostalgic, regretful, and hopeful, all at the same time.

As Paul explained on Jools Holland, "It's a sentimental world that doesn't really exist... as people imagine how England used to be... and was never as such..."


 Here are two songs from the new album Merrie Land: "Merrie Land" and "Gun To The Head"...
