Damon Albarn recently composed music for Wonder.land, a new theatrical adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. On April 29th, Albarn’s soundtrack will be released on CD and vinyl for the first time through Parlophone Records.
A modernized take on Lewis Caroll’s classic novel, Wonder.land explores the blurred boundaries between our online and offline lives through a teenager named Aly. As she struggles with the pressures of adolescence, “she discovers wonder.land – a mysterious online world where she hopes to create a whole new life.”
Wonder.land is currently being shown at the Olivier Theatre in London. Below, watch a trailer for the production, which features snippets of Albarn’s music.
Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about this. Not really into musicals, but no way I’m not listening to everything Damon releases.
