Blur have announced The Magic Whip, their first album since 2003's Think Tank. That's the album art up there. It's out April 27. They've also announced they're going to perform at Hyde Park in London on June 20.
The announcement was made via a live streamed press conference from a Chinese restaurant in London hosted by Zane Lowe. Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year.
In an interview with NME last year, Damon Albarn mentioned that Blur had recorded 15 new songs in Hong Kong. He quickly quashed fans' hopes, however, saying that the album hadn't been completed, blaming it hot weather: "There was too much commuting between where we were staying and where we were recording and it was a bit too hot. I think that's why we didn't get it finished."
Okay, ladies and germs, it didn’t leak yet. What can ya do?
i can’t believe it tricked my iTunes match and iTunes should have shown up as think tank ffs , feel so bloody stupid and so gutted , oh well need to get them to change it to not leak so when it does we all get alerts
Lol, you have no idea how iTunes Match works. You are also very gullible to believe this was real just because the track names were correct. Before running your mouth about something being legit, how about you take the time to actually listen to it…
Can the site Admin “unleak” this, so we know when a legit leak occurs???
dear mode, please change title to “no leak” all the versions are fake. album doesn’t leak
cool they put it back as upcoming , so leak alert me it is then , good things come to those who wait …

whilst we wait, check out young fathers 2nd album it so good :)
I was about to report a leak as legit, started listening to it, didn’t sound like blur, checked the lyrics online, it was damon albarn, or at least part of it. Not leaked.
still no leak , must be this weekend…
It’s incredible how long they’ve been able to keep this hidden from us. From what I’ve heard though, the album will be standard, excellent Blur.
8 days till release and still no leak? what is this?
Well, hopefully this time it’ll be the good one
4 real?
Alright, calm down everyone. The leak is legit.
Let’s talk about the actual album instead.
I trust this is the real deal.
