"these delicately
woven ballads rival anything in the Blur or Gorillaz canon ...spellbinding
music." THE TIMES
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.
