The Good, The Bad & The Queen announce new album, ‘Merrie Land’

The Good, The Bad & The Queen - the supergroup comprising Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Simon Tong and Tony Allen - have announced details of a new album.

The record is the follow-up to the debut that gave the quartet their name, released back in 2007. Titled ‘Merrie Land’, the album will be released on 16th November.

It was produced by legendary knob-twiddler Tony Visconti, and reflects on the UK’s preparations to leave the European Union, among other (undoubtedly bleak) current affairs.

The track listing is:

Merrie Land
Gun to the Head
Nineteen Seventeen
The Great Fire
Lady Boston
Drifters & Trawlers
The Truce of Twilight
Ribbons
The Last Man to Leave
The Poison Tree

Additionally, the band will play a handful of tiny live dates:

DECEMBER
1 Blackpool North Pier
2 Glasgow SWG3
4 London Hackney Arts Centre
5 London Hackney Arts Centre
6 London Hackney Arts Centre

Tickets are on sale from 9am on Friday 26th October.
