Blur to record new album, maybe

By | Published on Tuesday 21 December 2010

Damon Albarn recently announced that Blur were planning to do something together again next year. And that thing might be an album. It might not, of course. But it might be. And The Sun has quotes from unnamed sources saying they are at the very least going to record some stuff, so it must be true. Or not true. One of those things.

The anonymous jabberer told the tabloid: “The lads will be getting in the studio next year. There’s no concrete plans regarding what they will do with the material, but if they’re all agreed it could become the first full Blur album to feature all four members in over a decade”.

They added: “When they went into the studio earlier this year [to record one-off single ‘Fool’s Day’] everyone was really pleased to discover that the old magic was still there. They would have liked to have done more, but Damon could not take part due to his commitments with Gorillaz. Now that he’s finished touring with the band he has more time on his hands”.

Albarn also recently announced that he would be putting Gorillaz on hiatus for 2011 while he worked on other projects.
