Graham Coxon's new album A+E, released on 2 April, finds inspiration lyrically in Britain's weekend hard-partying culture and musically in the post-punk and Krautrock genres to create a danceable rough and ready garage pop experience. The Blur man describes the ten-track collection as 'Improvisations, experiments in beats, rhythms. A chance to uninhibitedly make some sort of perversely sad, danceable and funny and despondent songs'.
