Hear Damon Albarn’s Warm, Wistful ‘Season in the Sun’ and ‘Lonely Press Play’

Damon Albarn 'Lonely Press Play' 'Season in the Sun' Stream BBC Session

Damon Albarn unveiled Everyday Robots song “Lonely, Press Play” at SPIN’s intimate Sundance showcase. Now, the Gorillaz and Blur boss brings it to the BBC along with a non-album cut: his cover of “Season in the Sun” by ’70s soft-rocker Terry Jacks. The two songs share a certain wistfulness that sits well with Albarn’s crackling vocals and warm finger-picking. The Radio 2 performance follows the release of the Brian Eno collaboration “Heavy Seas of Love” and the stunning video for “Everyday Robots.” The album of the same name is due out April 29 via Warner Bros.
