Damon Albarn Announces New Boiler Room Livestream

Music, News

Damon Albarn has announced he will perform music from his new project The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows on a livestream as part of Boiler Room’s ongoing “Streaming From Isolation” series. Before the coronavirus pandemic, the Blur and Gorillaz frontman was set to take this new project on tour with “orchestral instrumentation, electronics, vocals, and piano.” Instead, the livestream will feature Albarn playing selections from the new project “alone with materials from workshops interrupted by the global lockdown.” It goes down 7 p.m. BST/2 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, May 17 over on Boiler Room’s YouTube channel.

The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows was composed by Albarn and inspired by the landscapes of Iceland. The project takes its name from the John Clare poem Love and Memory. Albarn recently paid tribute to his late friend and collaborator Tony Allen with the release of the Gorillaz song “How Far?” featuring Skepta and Allen.
