Damon Albarn Everyday Robots Details
While we wait around for a new Blur album, Damon Albarn continues to give us everything but, from a collaboration with the Child Of Lov (RIP) to a stage version of his Monkey opera. Damon did say a solo release and tour would precede a new Blur LP, so the imminent release of what is officially his “first” solo album (following Democrazy and Dr. Dee, both of which were released under the Damon Albarn moniker) is good news. Heck, any and all new Damon music is good news. We got a 21-second trailer for the thing last month, and now, with Damon at Sundance Festival for a performance, he’s given us another. These lovely and lilting 21 seconds come from a track called “Everyday Robots,” which Damon has already debuted in full at live shows.
UPDATE: A Damon Albarn fan Tumblr discovered some since-deleted album info on Warner Music’s site. The 12-track collection titled Everyday Robots is out 4/29. That’s the album cover up top. The title track teased above will serve as the first single, out 3/3 digitally and on 7″. Brian Eno and Natasha Khan (Bat For Lashes) appear on the album, which was produced by XL’s Richard Russell.
