Damon's new album, Dr Dee, is out now

Dr Dee is 18 tracks of songs and music inspired by the life of John Dee, mathematician, polymath and advisor to Elizabeth I. Described by Albarn as ‘strange pastoral folk’, Dr Dee is a fitting companion to the end of another Elizabethan age. The album combines Albarn's voice with early English choral and instrumentation alongside modern, West African and Renaissance sounds.

Dr Dee was recorded late last year in Albarn’s West London studio and also in Salford with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. The album was mixed by Valgeir Sigursson in Reykjavik.

Dr Dee will be available on CD, vinyl and as a digital download.

Dr Dee Fact of the Day

Chances are Dr Dee seems like a familiar figure - that could be because he is the inspiration behind the character of Prospero from Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
