We know the Brits out there have had copies of the new Graham record since March, but Americans have just recently had legitimate access to Coxon’s sixth solo effort — and it’s for the law-abiding US folk out there that we premiere this track from Love Travels At Illegal Speeds.

And we can’t get over how good his vox sound.
