Damon Albarn, the leader of Gorillaz, has a solo album coming out called The Nearer The Fountain, The Purer The Stream Flows, as well as plans to tour in support of it. But, as he revealed in a video he uploaded today, he’ll be releasing a performance film including some of the album’s tracks.
Aside from shots of the stage and the people who perform there, the movie also shows a printed setlist, which includes the album’s title tune, “The Cormorant,” “The Tower Of Montevideo,” “Royal Morning Blue,” “Darkness To Light,” “Polaris,” and “Particles.” The performance is set to be shared tomorrow, July 6.
Albarn previously said of the album, “I organized musicians, string players, three bass trombones, some percussion, and keyboards into an interesting arrangement. […] I took some of these real-time, extreme elemental experiences [of Iceland] and then tried to develop more formal pop songs with that as my source. I wanted to see where that would take me. Sometimes it took me down to Uruguay and Montevideo. Other times I went to Iran, Iceland, or Devon. With travel being curtailed, it was kind of nice to be able to make a record that put me strangely in those places for a moment or two.”
