Graham Coxon's Long-Lost Album 'Castle Park' Finally Released After 15 Years
Graham Coxon, founding member of Blur, is releasing his long-lost solo album 'Castle Park' on June 19, 2025, after 15 years in the vault. Recorded in 2011, the album was intended as the follow-up to 'A+E' (2012) but was shelved due to Coxon's commitments with Blur. Transgressive Records is simultaneously launching a comprehensive reissue campaign of Coxon's solo catalog, starting with 'The Sky is too high' (1998) and 'The Golden D' (2000), with plans to reissue all nine studio albums and three original soundtrack albums throughout the year. The album's lead singles 'Billy Says' and 'Alright' have been released in April and May respectively, with 'Alright' drawing comparisons to Blur's 'Coffee and TV' (1999). Coxon's solo work spans lo-fi, punk-rock, and blues, and he recently contributed soundtracks to Netflix's 'The End of the F***ing World'.
