According to the NME, Damon Albarn recorded a solo album whilst on tour with Blur in the US last month. If and when it gets released now depends on his prior commitments to Blur.
Damon: "I recorded it all on a four-track in America in hotel rooms - I'm really pleased with it. It sounds very American and I don't know why. I don't quite know how I'll put it out yet. I don't even know if I'll even be allowed to, so I'll have to wait and see. It's the lowest-fi record ever...it's not a commercial record."
