Galen & Paul is the brand new project of: Paul Simonon, bassist with The Clash, Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad and The Queen; and Galen Ayers, the singer-songwriter whose artistic projects include the justly acclaimed solo album 'Monument'. The duo will release their debut album "Can We Do Tomorrow Another Day?" which features a collection of bilingual duets exploring an eclectic range of European musical cultures while capturing evocative vignettes of life on the continent.
The album contains a collection of ten uplifting songs that together form a snapshot of pan-European musical culture. Led by Galen's beautiful voice and in duet with Paul, both singing in both English and Spanish, the resulting album travels the continent, featuring French chansons, Spanish pop and English sea shanties; evoking scenes stretching from Edgware Road to Hydra Island; and painting everything from elegant Parisian cafes to drunken tourists in Magaluf.
"Can We Do Tomorrow Another Day?" features an array of top talent. It was produced by the legendary Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T-Rex, Sparks) with a band made up of Simon Tong (The Verve, The Good, The Bad and The Queen), Sebastian Rochford (Polar Bear, David Byrne, Patti Smith) and Dan Donovan (Big Audio Dynamite), with Damon Albarn playing melodica on a number of tracks.
