Damon Albarn Posts Solo Album Teaser

Blur frontman Damon Albarn has posted a teaser video for his forthcoming solo album.

The 21 second clip finds Albarn sat at a piano and is accompanied by titles that read: "Damon Albarn. First Solo Album. Coming 2014."

Earlier this year, Albarn discussed the record with Rolling Stone and revealed that he was working alongside Richard Russell, head of XL Recordings. He said: "Making a solo record can be such a disaster, so I thought if we're going to make a record with my name on it, I should get someone to really produce it – take that responsibility away from myself. Richard does the kind of rhythmic side of it and I do everything else."

Albarn also plans to tour the new record and told the magazine: "I've just finished a solo record – when I go tour that, I'll play play stuff from all my different bands." The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, reported in July that work on a new Blur album would begin following this solo release.
