Plans are afoot for new albums from Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Damon Albarn has disclosed during an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald.
During Australian live dates supporting his debut solo album ‘Everyday Robots‘, Albarn revealed he has performed something of a u-turn where Gorillaz is concerned, and is in ‘in the process of reactivating’ the project he first launched with Jamie Hewlett more than a decade ago.
Also, it seems a new album with The Good, The Bad & The Queen – the collective which includes The Clash’s Paul Simonon and The Verve’s Simon Tong – is ‘fully written’ and just needs to be recorded.
And if all that wasn’t enough, he’s left the door open for more activity with Blur; there’s ‘some kind of future’ for the band according to Albarn, but he remained cautious of going into anything too specific and concluded:
“I’m reluctant to say anything, because if I do, it just gets taken out of context and then I’m accused of being a wind-up.”
