Graham Coxon's new album is whiny, stingy and horrible

Graham Coxon has told Xfm his new album is finished, with 20 songs about love, some sentimental and some despondent, and says he is working on the artwork.

Following on from yesterday's astonishing revelations that the new Razorlight album is "going well", Graham Coxon has revealed that his new album is "nearly finished", and has some vaguely interesting things to say about it.

The former Blur Guitarist told Xfm: "It's all done. I finished it in May and then it was another ten weeks of grafting, and 20 songs later it's all done. I'm just deciding on the running order and I'm doing my drawing, thinking about the visual."

He continued to ramble: "It's something to do with love going very fast, policemen chasing it. I'm not sure really. I'll find the proper words soon. I'm going to have to really 'cause I'm going to have to write it on the sleeve! All of the songs are about love in some sort of way, whether negative of positive. So there's some sentimentality on there, and some others that are very despondent and whiny and stingy and horrible. I like those extremes."

On the album artwork, Coxon said: "I've been doing my normal sketchy thing and mucking about on computers and canvases, yeah. This autumn I want to get more into that sort of thing, shutting myself away in the country and getting on with it."
