Former Blur guitarist Graham Coxon has just finished recording his new solo album having been back in the studio with producer Stephen Street. Street, who also worked on the first five Blur records, has likened the new album to early Blur.
Street said: "There's a lot of Kinks-type stuff on there, which has always been very prevalent on all the Blur stuff. There is also some really nice mellow stuff on there too that's similar to Beck's latest album - lots of strings and all that. Then there's the good old rockers he's going for as well. I rate Graham very highly as a guitar player so it's really great to hear him let loose on a few things. It's going to be difficult choosing a running order because we've recorded 15 tracks. Those will probably be whittled down to 10 or 12. It's a good situation to be in."
Details of the title, tracklisting or release date are yet to be confirmed.
