Damon Albarn never stops. The Gorillaz Humanz tour has just begun winding down, but the busiest man in the business is already hard at work on his next project. The Good, The Bad & The Queen, a supergroup compromised of Albarn, The Clash’s Paul Simonon, The Verve’s Simon Tong and Fela Kuti’s Tony Allen are back with their first new record in 11 years.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen released their self-titled debut back in 2007. This new record Merrie Land is set to arrive on November 16th. The band have already shared a taste of what’s to come with a stunning titular track which you can listen to below.
