Damon Albarn is due to release his sophomore solo LP, The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows, on November 12 via Transgressive Records, and has shared the second single from the upcoming record. “The Tower Of Montevideo” finds Albarn honoring South America, and is named after a building built in the 1920’s in Uruguay’s capital, Motenvideo, Palacio Salvo.

The track finds Albarn describing the inside of the tower, his voice crooning over a soothing beat that fits into the track’s South American theme. A saxophone dances over the track’s melody, Albarn singing, “once there were cinemas, and at the time we had parties.”

“The Tower Of Montevideo” follows the album’s title track, released in June. While Albarn has been busy with The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows, the musician has also been busy preparing for Gorillaz‘s next LP.
