Damon Albarn has released a new song called "The Tower of Montevideo," a cut off his upcoming solo album, The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows.

The Blur and Gorillaz frontman wrote the track about the Palacio Salvo in Uruguay and the surrounding area, which Albarn describes as "familiar and utterly otherworldly."
