Graham Coxon has confirmed that he had completed work on his new solo album. The guitarist, who is still reportedly taking part in low key recording sessions with Blur, will release 'A + E' on April 2nd.
Produced by Ben Hillier, the new material is apparently steeped in Krautrock and post-punk abstraction. Two quotes from Graham Coxon about the album: "Improvisations, experiments in beats, rhythms. A chance to uninhibitedly make some sort of perversely sad, danceable and funny and despondent songs."
"I didn’t want to get caught up in my usual struggle with trying to make things sound really posh. I didn’t want lovely 60s-sounding drums and valves."
The singer will play a total of 13 dates across the UK. The tour will kick off at Oxford's O2 Academy on April 13 and run until April 30 at Falmouth's Princess Pavilions venue.
