Video: Damon Albarn releases 'Everyday Robots'
Damon Albarn revealed his first single and music video from his solo debut LP, “Everyday Robots”. The title track from “Everyday Robots” was produced by Richard Russell of XL, which was recorded last year at Albarn's West London studio 13.
The LP features guest appearances from Brian Eno and Natasha Khan (Bat For Lashes).
The lead track 'Everyday Robots' is accompanied by a video directed by artist and designer Aitor Throup. The film is a digital portrait of Albarn by Throup and uses CGI software and actual cranial scans and facial reconstruction techniques to explore and reveal the process of building a uniquely personal portrait of an artist and individual.
Damon Albarn will perform at Latitude Festival on Saturday 19th July 2014 with a band including guitarist Seye, drummer Pauli The PSM, bassist Jeff Wootton and Mike Smith on keyboards.
Everyday Robots will be available as a digital download, CD and 12' vinyl.
