About this deal

The band consists of singer Damon Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree. If you're running a script or application, please register or sign in with your developer credentials here. Initially conceived in Hong Kong, during downtime following a cancelled show in Japan, the band spent five days laying down ideas. Thankfully, this is the first album released this year that has left me simultaneously pleasantly relaxed and upbeat. Due to inventory and accounting purposes, we do not exchange items received for different items than originally purchased.

Not sure what exactly I've got here--I'm pretty sure it's not a boot (haven't heard tell of or seen boots of this one, and the packaging is beautiful, way higher quality than any boot I've ever seen), so is it a brand new repress or something else? In November 2014, Coxon received Albarn’s approval to work further on the recordings with producer Stephen Street, while Albarn was touring his solo album, Everyday Robots. Like Albarn's recent solo work, it explores the distant traveler's conflicting sense of wonder and alienation. 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. I'm glad Blur emerged from the scattered years and created this album for everyone to enjoy and didn't leave it unfinished in the Orient: it's going to get a lot of plays in my circle.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.

Anyway on listening to The Magic Whip today, it opens with the Blur sound we’re familiar with from the early to mid 90s.The first album from Blur in twelve years, born from a chance cancellation of a gig back in 2013, much to the disappointment of fans at the time but to their unbridled bouncy joy today.

In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases.The Magic Whip is the first Blur album since 2003's Think Tank, the first with guitarist Graham Coxon onboard since 1999's 13 (Coxon was booted from the Think Tank sessions a week in and summarily quit), and the first with producer Stephen Street since 1997's Blur. Two years later we made the move to our present address, 35 The Headrow, where we have remained ever since. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. There’s a double sided giant poster, two printed inner sleeves, a mirror on the rear of the heavy card matt gatefold sleeve and a download card.

The package itself is something else too, there’s an Asian influence, possibly as recordings were made in Hong Kong, the sleeve is beautiful and even has an Obi strip like vinyl from Japan. Songs on The Magic Whip mention internet hotspots, satellite showers, industrial light and glass arcades.
