Galen & Paul – Can We Do Tomorrow Another Day?

Galen & Paul is the brand-new project from: Paul Simonon, bassist with The Clash, Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad and The Queen; and Galen Ayers, the singer-songwriter whose artistic projects include the rightly acclaimed solo album ‘Monument’. The duo is set to release their debut album together, ‘Can We Do Tomorrow Another Day?’, a collection of bilingual duets in which they explore an eclectic array of European music cultures, while also capturing evocative vignettes of life across the continent. They preview the project by sharing its lead single ‘Lonely Town’ accompanied by its official video filmed in Deia, Mallorca.

The roots of the album began in lockdown. Paul headed to a Mallorcan fishing village, where he spent his time writing songs and painting his impressions of the stunning locales. As restrictions lifted, he spread his wings: some days he might spend his time working with local musicians, on others he might busk in front of cafes in Palma. What was intended to be a short change of pace turned into an 18-month escape. When he finally headed back to London, he further developed his ideas with his friend Galen, with both bonding over a love of sparse, evocative songwriting.
