Graham Coxon Revives 2011 Album ‘Castle Park’ to Launch Yearlong Reissue Campaign

The plan centers his archived work as the starting point for a broader look at his post-Blur output.

Overview

  • Graham Coxon announced Monday a June 19 release for Castle Park on Transgressive, with lead single Billy Says available now.
  • Recorded with producer Ben Hillier in 2011 during sessions around A+E, the album was shelved after Blur reunion activity in 2012.
  • The 12‑month program begins the same day with new pressings of The Sky Is Too High (1998) and The Golden D (2000), with CDs, black or colored vinyl, and exclusive postcards.
  • Coxon will play his first full-band solo show in more than a decade at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on November 28, with tickets on sale Friday at 9am.
  • Outlets agree the album runs 10 tracks, though they published conflicting tracklists that have not been clarified in the initial materials.
