Artist: Damon Albarn

Stereogum It's not easy for an artist to have a secret identity in the time of Facebook, but so far the Child Of Lov has managed to keep his given name on the DL. Of course, he has yet to release an album or physical single yet, so there's ample time for his cover to be blown. What we do know? The artists associated with the project are insanely impressive: DOOM, Thundercat, and Damon Albarn all contribute to the Child of Lov's forthcoming debut LP. The first single [...]

There's been a lot of love for Damon Albarn over the last few months, which could quickly turn to disdain if we don't get either a new Blur album or a North American date sometime next summer , but for the moment, the good vibes are going strong. More evidence: Phish frontman Trey Anastasio covered Gorillaz's breakthrough single, "Clint Eastwood," for his forthcoming solo album, Traveler . The arrangement is pretty true to the original, with Anastasio doing a rather credible Albarn impression on the chorus, and Anastasio collaborator Jennifer Hartswick totally updating the sound of [...]

The funky and clandestine solo artist known as The Child of Lov just dropped the first taste of his forthcoming debut album with the video for "Heal", directed by Focus Creeps . Listen to the hard-edged space funk and recall those days when you and your friends would find old children's bikes just so you could destroy it. Also that bass line comes courtesy of none other than Damon Albarn . The Child of Lov's debut LP is slated for sometime in 2013 and promises to feature contributions from DOOM , Damon Albarn [...]

After months and months of Blur denying that they would ever reunite, along with all the hubbub surrounding their Olympics performance, things may have changed for the better. Today, the band was announced as the headliner of Rock Werchter festival in Belgium, and it appears Damon Albarn and company are finally reuniting. Taking to their Facebook page , the band said: Thank you for waiting... Rock Werchter is about to announce that Blur will headline next July. We're excited.. hope to travel in 2013 to [...]

Damon Albarn es uno de esos artistas que cuando su nombre se menciona en la prensa levantan polémica y dan para mucho, sea realmente importante la información que haya dado o no. No es para menos, porque se trata de una de las mentes detrás de bandas geniales como Blur o Gorillaz, y por lo tanto un gran músico contemporáneo. Después de muchos rumores sobre lo nuevo de Blur, que incluían por cierto una posible banda sonora escrita e interpretada por la banda, parece ser que vuelve a no [...]

Ain't it always the way? Follow where Damon leads, and not only do you oft find yourself penned in against a nearby HSBC storefront by his customary array of Albarn-alikes, but they that impatiently await anxiously chatter of rare Blur tour tees and other inessential memorabilia. At least it's nowhere near gelid enough for it to be blue-lipped natter, as it's remarkably mild for an October eve way out west in the revered cultural polymath's native endz. Going against the grain, however, although there may be many here to fawn over Albarn he's not exactly the figurehead of what has [...]
