Transgressive Records has signed Damon Albarn to a worldwide record deal and will release his upcoming new solo album.
"We have had the great pleasure of collaborating with Damon over the years via the incredible Africa Express project, which has introduced many gifted artists to the Transgressive world", says the label's Toby L. "His voracious passion for music and exploration knows no bounds and repeatedly defies convention or categorisation, whilst always remaining utterly inviting and intoxicating throughout".
"Truly prolific, his latest solo work is amongst the finest of his career", he goes on. "We really couldn't be more honoured to welcome Damon and his phenomenal team at Eleven Management into the Transgressive family, with an ongoing focus to break new ground and subvert expectations in a way that only he can".
Details of the new album are yet to be confirmed. No doubt they will be in due course. What would be the point otherwise?
