April 27 release


Fans of Britpop pioneers Blur had reason to celebrate on 19 February, as the group announced details of their first album in 12 years, entitled The Magic Whip.


Describing the follow-up to 2003’s Think Tank as a return to “the way we recorded when we started,” Damon Albarn said that the album was similar in style to the music David Bowie made during his mid 70’s Berlin period.


Initially conceived in Hong Kong, during downtime following a cancelled show in Japan, the band spent five days laying down ideas. It wasn’t until Graham Coxon reprised these sessions and presented them to long-time producer Stephen Street, who went on to develop them with the guitarist, that they realised they might have material worthy of a new album.


“They did some editing and some production work and sent around the initial tracks and we all realised we’d done something quite special there,” said drummer Dave Rowntree. “There was 18 months [in-between recording the songs] which allowed us to have a bit of perspective on it. When they played it back, that was the time everyone got very excited.”

They already worked with Stephen Street on Modern Life Is Rubbish and Parklife. I'm really, really excited.

Plus the new song is great, even tho the video is pretty weird actually !

o shit. it sounds like blur.

 

My thoughts exactly. It won't be one of those shitty rock-band-comebacks.

Plus it doens't sound exactly like something they could have done before and I'm really happy with that as well !

Great track, I'm sure it'll work perfectly as the album opener :music: They're still writing cute/catchy tunes and that's awesome imho !

Is this Graham Coxon singing around the 2:30 mark by the way ?

Go Out is cool, getting plenty of radio airplay.

Excited for this. 2015 is shaping up great so far (apart from Prodigy)
