The Golden D

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Transgressive Records
Release Date: 19th June

Graham Coxon early solo albums with the much needed vinyl reissuing and what a joy it's been revisiting these records, dare I say, I'm getting more from their lo-fi, raw and personal nature than I do going back to his work on his day job in Blur.  

Written, recorded and produced by Coxon, it saw the musician explore a heavier, more
punk sound than its predecessor across 10 tracks, including the song 'Ooochy
Woochy'. The 12-track album also includes two covers, 'Fame and Fortune' and 'That's
When I Reach For My Revolver' by American post-punk band Mission of Burma. The
Golden D features original cover artwork by Graham Coxon.
The Sky Is Too High and The Golden D are the first in a comprehensive reissue of
Coxon's complete solo catalogue, spanning 9 studio albums and 2 soundtracks, to be
released across the next 12 months.
An English musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist, Graham
Coxon is one of the most innovative guitarists of his generation, best known as being
a founding member of blur. Coxon has also released eight solo albums and frequently
composes for film and TV. His passion for experimental and indie music helped shape
the distinctive blur sound throughout their imperial hit- making phase, a period that
produced a succession of chart- topping albums which propelled the band to mass
popularity in the UK and beyond. That adventurousness is also a feature of his solo
career, which ranges from folk and Krautrock-inspired albums to soundtrack work.
