The album – which is mostly instrumental and was recorded on band leader Damon Albarn's iPad while the band was on tour last year – will also be released as a CD and digital download on April 19th. You can listen to "Phoner to Arizona," the album's pensive, mildly funky opening number, now.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
