the Good, The Bad & The Queen, the supergroup made up of Damon Albarn, the Clashs Paul Simonon, the Verves Simon Tong, and Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen, would be returning with their first album since their 2007 self-titled debut. And now its official: Merrie Land will be out next month, 11/16, self-released on the bands new Studio 13 label. Produced by legendary David Bowie producer Tony Visconti and the band themselves, Merrie Land was written in the shadow of a looming Brexit. According to a press release, the album functions as a reluctant goodbye letter, a series of observations and reflections on Britishness in 2018 and a beautiful and hopeful paean to the Britain of today, an inclusive Britain, currently in an Anglo-Saxostentialist crisis at the end of a relationship, wondering what might be salvaged.
