Graham Coxon Completes New Album

Former Blur guitarist Graham Coxon has revealed that his new “sentimental, despondent, whiny, stingy, horrible” album is nearly finished…

The follow up to last year’s ‘Happiness In Magazines’ just requires a final cut before he unleashes it onto the general public.

Speaking to XFM Coxon said: “It’s all done,”

“I finished it in May and then it was another ten weeks of grafting, and 20 songs later it’s all done. I’m just deciding on the running order and I’m doing my drawing, thinking about the visual.

“It’s something to do with love going very fast, policemen chasing it,”

“I’m not sure really. I’ll find the proper words soon. I’m going to have to really ‘cause I’m going to have to write it on the sleeve! 

“All of the songs are about love in some sort of way, whether negative of positive. So there’s some sentimentality on there, and some others that are very despondent and whiny and stingy and horrible. I like those extremes.”

Once again Coxon will be using his initiative and creating the artwork for the new album: “I’ve been doing my normal sketchy thing and mucking about on computers and canvases, yeah. This autumn I want to get more into that sort of thing, shutting myself away in the country and getting on with it.”

Hurry up, we want to hear it!!!
