Keeping up with Damon Albarn


The former Blur frontman and Gorillaz founder is back in Africa, recording an Oxfam album in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is greatly exciting, as his 2002's Mali Music album was one of the decade's undiscovered gems.

There's more information on Stereogum, and a preview.

Albarn also recently completed an opera about a 16th century British alchemist, astrologer and spy named Dr. John Dee. "Saucy Jack", anyone?
