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.
