Graham Coxon will release his new solo album, 'The Spinning Top', on May 11th.
The Blur guitarist's new studio effort was recorded in London last Spring and features collaborations with Robyn Hitchcock and Danny Thompson.
In a statement, Coxon said the 15-track album follows a set narrative.
“The album is mainly an acoustic journey although there is, of course, some explosive electric guitar action,” Coxon said.
“I wanted to show how exciting acoustic instruments can be, how dynamic and rich and heart-thumpingly raw they can sound at a time when acoustic music seems either too cute or too soppy.”
The album's release comes ahead of Coxon's summer reunion shows with Blur, which include two headlining concerts in London's Hyde Park.
