damon albarn - 'sister rust'

A bit of an under-appreciated tune from 2014, I think.

Fair play to Damon Albarn for consistently pushing himself, musically. This isn't even the best track on his new album and it's a corker.

To end an eclectic music mix this lunchtime, I'll leave you with a song from Damon Albarn's latest album 'Everyday Robots'. I'm not his biggest fan but I do think a large part of that is down to his persona rather than the music itself and I've enjoyed listening to him of late, especially this tune.

Another new release today, this time for Damon Albarn. First listen for me and I wasn't too impressed with the start - it sounded, as someone else pointed out, like a jingle for a price-comparison advert but fortunately after the less than auspicious start the song gets good very quickly.

It reminds me a bit of Super Furry Animals or even that last Dexys album that I'm finally, finally warming to after a couple of years of thinking it's a bit crap. Back to the tune in question and it is never going to be the first track on a 'best of' album but as a happy springtime track it does the job perfectly. Radio-friendly with a catchy chorus, this will be a big hit for sure.
