We've long been seriously in love with Damon Albarn's Mali Music , so when a friend at New Year's asked if we had heard about the Blur and Gorillaz frontman's African project, we knowingly smiled and knowingly informed them that they were about eight year's late to a seriously awesome musical experience. Well, allow us to stand corrected. It turns out, in fact, that we were about two months late. Albarn returned to Africa and released a new record in October, this time from the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital city of Kinshasa. The result is [...]

Damon Albarn works tirelessly on music. This we know. He also does so with a remarkable eye to quality, even when the quantity seems like it would be enough to break other musicians backs.

Released as DRC Music, the album is titled Kinshasa One Two and features a lengthy list of collaborators: XL Recordings head Richard Russell, Dan the [...]
