Blur Frontman Damon Albarn Confirms Details About New Album

Damon Albarn, former Blur frontman, has confirmed that he will release a new album with Jamie Hewlett, the visual artist he teamed up with for Gorillaz.

The duo's new album, entitled 'Journey To The West', will be released under their Monkey pseudonym.

The album contains songs from their opera, Monkey: Journey To The West', which is due to open at London's Royal Opera House this week.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Hewlett revealed recently that Albarn moved on to other projects away from Blur because he had grown “tired" of being the band's frontman.

'Monkey's World'
'Monkey Travels'
'Into The Eastern Sea'
'The Living Sea'
'The Dragon King'
'Iron Rod'
'Out Of The Eastern Sea'

'O Mi To Fu'
'Whisper'
'Tripitaka's Curse'
'Confessions Of A Pig'
'Sandy The River Demon'
'March Of The Volunteers'
'The White Skeleton Demon'
'Monk's Song'
'I Love Buddha'
'March Of The Iron Army'
'Pigsy In Space'
'Monkey Bee'
'Disappearing Volcano'

  • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
