Kano has indicated that Damon Albarn has no time to work on a new Blur album, because he's too busy with a third Gorillaz record, says The Daily Star.
The grime star also told the tabloid that he's been working with Albarn on the new Gorllaz LP, saying: "I went into the studio with Damon a while ago. We worked on a demo idea that he came up with in Lagos in Africa. We went back and actually produced the idea. It just so happened that I added a little bit on a couple of tracks he gave me. It's all sounding good".
He continued: "The album's not wrapped up yet. I think the process Damon goes through is that he makes loads of demos, then cuts them down and starts getting into the production. He's at that stage now where he's finishing off the record".
It's no surprise that Albarn is prioritising Gorillaz. Despite their live plans, Blur have never promised new material. Plus the band don't seem especially committed to a full scale return; as previously reported Dave Rowntree apparently has his sights set on becoming a barrister.
