A video for The Good The Bad & The Queen‘s Merrie Land track The Truce Of Twilight, directed by Paul Simonon, has been premiered.
The performance video was shot simultaneously on three iPhones in west London, and comes with the band’s UK tour getting closer; they’ll play Norwich, Cardiff, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool and London next month. “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.”
