The Good, The Bad & The Queen – aka Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Tony Allen and Simon Tong – have finally released their second album.
‘Merrie Land’ comes after an eleven-year hiatus for the group following their eponymous debut, and is self-released on the newly created label Studio 13.
The album’s ten songs were “written during the current period in which the UK is preparing to leave the European Union,” according to a press release, “creating a reluctant good-bye letter, a series of observations and reflections on Britishness in 2018.”
