Graham Coxon Plans An Erratic Follow Up To 'Happiness...'

Despite being on tour in the US, Graham Coxon is currently working on the follow up to ‘Happiness In Magazines’ with producer Steven Street.

We can expect an erratic album from the former Blur guitarist, who is more concerned about soft furnishings then anything else.

Speaking to Billboard Coxon said: "The emotion is a lot more edgier. It's about the dreaded L-O-V-E from all sides; from the lustier sort of viewpoints to jealous viewpoints and to downright sentimentality."

"Creative control is the ultimate for a self-obsessed lunatic. I try not to be control freakish about it, but with my own stuff I started to be that way, because I was so used to being in a group. But after a while, you sort of cry out for other people's opinions and advice, which is why I got a producer in the first place."

After performing at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas Coxon is geared up for his North American tour: "I'm looking forward to being here and seeing the response from Americans, where they aren't afraid to be enthusiastic.”

This summer Coxon is looking forward to putting his feet up in-between a few festival performances: "I'd like to do some festivals, but mainly rest. Take some time off, do some artwork for the next album. And decorate the bathroom”
