As previously reported, Damon Albarn confirmed the title, tracklist and other information for his debut solo album Everyday Robots. Now he has now released the title track/lead single early (it was originally slated to drop March 3).
Over a sinister, Middle-Eastern-like loop filled out by barebones piano, he sings, "We're everyday robots in control, or in the process of being sold." According to YouTube, the video for the track was created by artist and designer Aitor Throup, who used "CGI software and actual cranial scans to create a unique digital portrait of Damon."
According a press release, "The songs' subject matter is more directly personal than before and is inspired by Albarn's experiences from early childhood to now, including the trappings of our modern existence, computer games, mobile phones and nature versus technology."
The song will also premiere tonight on the Sundance Channel at 10:45 p.m. E.T. Everyday Robots is due out April 29 in the U.S. via Warner Bros. Check out the video here, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
