The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows
Album by Damon Albarn
The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows is the second solo studio album by English musician Damon Albarn, released in 2021. The album blends ambient, orchestral and chamber pop elements with sparse piano, strings and electronic textures to create a restrained, cinematic sound, and represents a contemplative follow-up to his earlier solo work and varied projects across rock and electronic music.
