Damon Albarn Previews Two Songs From His ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Musical

In addition to recently dropping Blur’s first album in more than a decade, The Magic Whip, and working on Gorillaz and the Good, the Bad & the Queen comebacks, Damon Albarn scored a musical inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Wonder.land has been showing in theaters in London for some time now, but soon, everyone will be able to hear Albarn's soundtrack.

Songs From Wonder.land will be available as a digital download this Friday, April 15. Then, a CD version will arrive on April 22 followed by a vinyl edition on April 29. Ahead of its release, Albarn has shared excerpts of “In Clover” and the Cheshire Cat-helmed “Fabulous.” Take a listen at the bottom of the page and pre-order the album now over at Amazon.

Previously, Albarn said his work on Wonder.land has influenced the next Gorillaz album. “This really, really excites me to make more of a narrative for the next Gorillaz album,” he said. “Give it a real story from beginning to end and give each character a real voice and a singing voice as well.”

Albarn’s Gorillaz bandmate Jamie Hewlett just shared videos of the duo back in the studio working on that long-awaited full-length.
