The Golden D (2000) is Coxon's second solo studio album. Written, recorded and produced by Coxon, it saw the musician explore a heavier, more punk sound than its predecessor across 10 tracks, including the song 'Ooochy Woochy'. The 12-track album also includes two covers, 'Fame and Fortune' and 'That's When I Reach For My Revolver' by American post-punk band Mission of Burma. The Golden D features original cover artwork by Graham Coxon.
The Sky Is Too High and The Golden D are the first in a comprehensive reissue of Coxon's complete solo catalogue, spanning 9 studio albums and 2 soundtracks, to be released across the next 12 months.
An English musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist, Graham Coxon is one of the most innovative guitarists of his generation, best known as being a founding member of blur. Coxon has also released eight solo albums and frequently composes for film and TV. His passion for experimental and indie music helped shape the distinctive blur sound throughout their imperial hit-making phase, a period that produced a succession of chart-topping albums which propelled the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. That adventurousness is also a feature of his solo career, which ranges from folk and Krautrock-inspired albums to soundtrack work.
