Everyday Robots
Everyday Robots, the first fully-realised Damon Albarn solo album, features twelve songs that invite the listener into Albarn s world for a genuine "one-to-one." They are the most soul-searching and autobiographical since his musical journey began.
Albarn is first to admit he s a restless soul when it comes to music. What s certain is that all of the projects of his musical career thus far - from Blur to Gorillaz, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Mali Music, Monkey: Journey To The West or Dr Dee - help form this singular artist s musical DNA.
This album is quite clearly about his experiences, from early childhood right through. Ghosts of Albarn s boyhood in Leytonstone and Colchester walk hand-in-hand with reflections on life and love, on nature versus technology. He visits more recent habitats.. under London s Westway and idyllic Devon... as well as pondering the trappings of modern existence such as computer games and mobile phones.
Everyday Robots was recorded in Albarn s 13 Studio in London and is produced by Richard Russell, head of XL Recordings.
