WATCH: New Damon Albarn video
The road is the Blur man's inspiration as 'Lonely Press Play' gets a promo.
Friday April 25 sees the release of Damon Albarn's first solo LP proper Everyday Robots – we're not counting 2003's vinyl bag of half-formed ideas Democrazy – and ahead of that we get another track taken from it.
'Lonely Press Play' follows the feel of 'Everyday Robots' quite closely, being a very modern kind of piano ballad, with lots of interesting rhythms and sounds bubbling below a weary-but-lovely melody. It also trumps the title track in the beauty stakes – no mean feat.
As for the video, we get shots and scenes from Tokyo, Iceland, London, Devon, various English and US towns, and North Korea.
Have a gander.
