Produced by Ben Hillier (blur – Think Tank), Castle Park was recorded in 2011 as part of the A+E (2012) sessions. Originally intended as a follow up to A+E, the release was postponed due to blur activity in 2012, before Coxon moved on to other projects. Castle Park is a collection of 10 songs that lean into the artist’s classic mod sound, with lead single ‘Billy Says’ – a longtime feature of Coxon’s live set – already familiar to fans and now finally available for the first time. 

With his back catalogue long sold out and in high demand on physical formats, Castle Park kicks off a comprehensive reissue of Coxon’s expansive solo catalogue and comes alongside the re-release of The Sky is Too High and The Golden D, all available on 19 June. Further drops across the coming year will include the studio albums Crow Sit on Blood Tree (2001), The Kiss of Morning (2002), Happiness In Magazines (2004), Love Travels at Illegal Speeds (2006), The Spinning Top (2009), A+E (2012); as well as the two Original Songs and Score album soundtracks for The End of The F***ing World 1 (2018) and The End of The F***ing World 2 (2019); and Superstate (2021), the original soundtrack released to accompany the graphic novel of the same name.
