Graham Coxon has announced plans to release a lost 2011 solo album.
The Blur guitarist turned solo star, who's also one half of The Waeve, will drop 'Castle Park' through Transgressive Records on June 19 as part of a wider 12-month reissue campaign. The project will include reissues of his entire solo discography, including three original soundtracks, beginning with his 1998 solo debut 'The Sky Is Too High' and the 2000 follow-up 'The Golden D', also released on June 19.
Produced by Ben Hillier, who helmed Blur's 'Think Tank', the 10-track 'Castle Park' was recorded in 2011 during the sessions for Coxon's 2012 'A+E' LP. It was originally intended as the follow-up but was shelved to make way for Blur's reunion that year before being abandoned for other projects.
Alongside the news, Coxon has shared the opening track, Billy Says, which has become a live staple and serves up his signature infectious guitar-pop sound.
He has also announced a career-spanning show at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town on November 28, his first full-band solo performance in over 10 years. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (April 24).
The Waeve, his project with Rose Elinor Dougall, released their second album, 'City Lights', in 2024, followed 'City Lights Session (Live)' and the 'Eternal' EP last year. Coxon's latest studio release came in the form of 2021's 'Superstate', the original soundtrack accompanying the graphic novel of the same name. Blur, meanwhile, released 'The Ballad Of Darren', their first record in eight years, in 2023.

1. Billy Says
