Accompanying their 2023 comeback tour, reactivated Britpop titans Blur announce their ninth studio album ‘The Ballad Of Darren’, also their first new music in eight years. Fans will immediately feel at home, with tracks such as 'St Charles Square' and 'The Narcissist' offering that now familiar mix of weary vocals, squally guitars, low-slung bass and shuffling drums.

I honestly felt like Damon was in the room on a few tracks (especially Beetlebum) and Grahams guitar parts piercing through the stellar mix. Originally released in 1994, as a Japan-only CD, The Special Collector’s Edition will be a 2LP pressed on coloured vinyl, featuring a collection of B-sides taken from the of their first three studio albums singles from the albums Leisure, Modern Life Is Rubbish and Parklife.Whilst not their weirdest work, and not quite their best, Blur's self-titled album is an extraordinary piece of work that any self-respecting music fan should investigate.

Review: It's funny to think about the Blur v Oasis contest that defined British music in the mid-1990s.With Damon Albarn finally listening to Graham Coxon's advice for once, the album is an experimental, eclectic, fascinating torrent of inspiration. At a time when Oasis were aping the sounds of their pub-rock heroes on Definitely Maybe, Blur drew from the legacy of the Kinks and Small Faces to create an album that's as English as a rainy Sunday in front of the gas fire.
