This thread is for Damon Albarn's music (outside of Gorillaz) for one of the best (and most prolific) songwriters working out there now.

Some of his side projects:

Solo albums

The Good, The Bad, & The Queen

Blur

Current project:

THE NEARER THE FOUNTAIN, MORE PURE THE STREAM FLOWS - OUT NOVEMBER

PRE-ORDER HERE: ffm.to/da_tntftmpts

Second single from Nearer the Fountain, "Polaris" out tonight:

huge fan of the man but while I like individual elements I don't think this single really works for me as a whole. Huge shame, I remember thinking the version he played live last year had tons of potential. Dude tried to make this material poppy and it just doesn't work imo

Talking about Polaris?

My favorite artist of all time

In on first page for the 🐐

Noel better

I’m KIDDING

yeah, the title track is pretty nice tho

Some more solo tracks:

Everyday robots was mad depressing

Albarn's second album is out NOW. If anyone cares.

I listened to it today and didn’t particularity take to it. I liked a few songs though, what did you think about it?

I love a handful of songs on it. Too many slower instrumentals though imo.

Blur reunion next year

It's most likely just a one-off date, but I wish we'd get an album.

Fingers crossed for a New York show

I saw them at Hyde Park for The Magic Whip though which was unreal so if that has to be my only live Blur experience I'll live with it
