After 11 years Damon Albarn's The Good, the Bad & the Queen project release their second album, and again it features the drumming virtuosity of Tony Allen and other instrumentalisation from former Gorillaz/The Clash member Paul Simonon and the Verve's Simon Tong. The album itself features the woozy croon of Albarn vocals with a busy concoction of guitars and textured layering that bodes well to encapsulate the murky carnival atmosphere of the album's cover art. The most dream-like of carny sounds are best heard on "The Truce Of Twilight" and "Ribbons" with the slightest of London reggae vibes to boot too.
