Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
It’s been 12 years since Blur released Think Tank, leaving the Brit-pop faithful with only the occasional new song for succor. So where have Damon Albarn and friends been? Besides on the road, the rockstar-ready answer is in Hong Kong, where the band began recording tracks for a new album back in 2013. Last November guitarist/singer Graham Coxon revisited the tracks with longtime Blur producer Stephen Street, followed by Albarn, who contributed lyrics. Thus dubbed The Magic Whip, the album has been deemed ready for international public consumption beginning on April 27. (The U.S. will get it on April 28.) The announcement was made, appropriately enough, from a Chinese restaurant in London’s Chinatown.
