New Music Friday: The Good The Bad & The Queen – Merrie Land


Merrie Land




The Good The Bad & The Queen have released their new album Merrie Land today – check it out on Live4ever via Spotify.

Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Tony Allen and Simon Tong confirmed the details of their first album together since 2007 last month, and thus haven’t waited long to get their record out into the peak of a political maelstrom it was inspired by; “This has been coming – Damon Albarn has been opposed to Brexit from the off,” Live4ever’s review opens.

“Back in 2016, on the day after the UK’s EU referendum vote, he was at Glastonbury performing with The Orchestra Of Syrian Musicians and addressed the subdued crowd: “Democracy has failed us because it was ill informed,” he said.”

“A reformation of The Good The Bad & The Queen (back in 2007 it was ambiguous as to whether or not it was a band, an album or a project – now we know) was the most likely of his various platforms to be an outlet for his thoughts on the subject.”
