Coxon records new album in Blur!
BLUR's GRAHAM
COXON has recorded another solo album to
be released in July, NME.COM can
reveal - and he recorded, mixed and mastered the
entire project in just two weeks!
Speaking exclusively to NME.COM,
Graham described the new album,
called 'Crow Sit In Blood Tree'
as having a "therapy vibe" and said it
had been recorded as catharsis to a "general
malaise" he had been feeling.
The album will be released at the
end of July through Graham's own
Transcopic label, through which
he released his last two solo albums. Again, he
is responsible for the cover art and he's also
making five short films to go with a selection of
songs from the record.
"It's quite a precious record
to me," he said. "I always seem to
write songs at some sort of crisis point...that's
why I recorded it very fast. I finished it last
Friday (June 1)."
However, Graham
refused to be drawn on what exactly had created
his personal crisis this time.
"There's always something,
isn't there?" he mused. "I dunno, it
was just sort of, general Camden
psychosis I think. It was written in a general
malaise - pretty much in the deeper depths of the
dark little sea of me."
The full interview will be published
in NME.COM features later today
