A second night at the bespoke surroundings of London’s Royal Albert Hall is in store for Damon Albarn after the original date sold out in double quick time.
Albarn will now be with his backing band The Heavy Seas on November 16th as well as the 15th. Earlier this week, prices were set between £35-£65, and ‘very special guests’ were promised.
The now very occasional Blur frontman is promoting his debut solo album ‘Everyday Robots‘, which landed at #2 on the UK charts back in April.
“The title-track’s gentle, mystical and skeletal structure discusses the pros and cons of being in an age consumed by flashing lights and forwarding emails, a trademark mismatch of electronic instrumentation and folk traits which deliver the song’s nature as being both man and machine wrapped in wires, but also warmth,” Live4ever’s review states.
“The harmonious vocals add to the synthetic feel, providing a masterstroke of English songwriting that no matter how many textures the songs are buried under, remains a distinct factor throughout.”
