Damon Albarn - The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows

Second solo album from Damon Albarn, one of the most eclectic and prolific artists of the 21st century. Albarn's last solo album was the outstanding Everyday Robots (2014).

The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows was originally intended as an orchestral piece inspired by the landscapes of Iceland. This last year has seen Albarn return to the music in lockdown and develop the work to 11 tracks which further explore themes of fragility, loss, emergence and rebirth. The result is a panoramic collection of songs with Albarn as storyteller.
