Dos polos opuestos, pero inconfundiblemente Blur , me quedo con The Puritan . Sorprendente, saltarina, enérgica, divertida... un estupendo [...]

• Blur - The Puritan

Britain’s Blur returned from a hiatus this week, bringing two awesome new tracks with them. Why one, called “Under the Westway” was written for the band’s upcoming performance at the Closing Ceremony of London’s Olympics is plain to see: the song is as uplifting as it is quintessentially British (note allusions to London’s Westway), just like the guys who sing it. Damon Albarn lets loose a narrative that is characteristically melancholy, running atop a hymnal piano riff decorated by droning sirens. And by the fifth verse, Albarn is “doing 180,” looking beyond London’s mercilessly modern carriageway. [...]

There's no question about it: Blur is back! While it may be a while before Damon Albarn works to release another Gorillaz album, it's great that he's diversifying his repertoire with a solo album, production on that Bobby Womack album, and now these new tracks that are set for a 73 release in August . Album titles and release dates aren't being discussed yet, but hopefully that's coming soon. To talk about the two tracks individually, "the Puritan" has a quirky, fun beat that I'm sure most people are going to directly link to a [...]

El día de ayer fue todo revuelo alrededor de Blur , pues la banda presentó la versión de estudio de dos canciones nuevas, las primeras desde su reunión y que actuarán como sencillos de lo que será su recopilación Blur 21 , programada para su lanzamiento a finales de este mes. Los temas además han dado a muchos la esperanza de un posible nuevo disco, aunque todavía no ha habido ninguna confirmación real sobre este asunto. Lo que sí es que estas son las primeras canciones inéditas que [...]

Damon Albarn a toujours eu tendance à avoir du mal à lâcher ses projets qui lui tiennent tant à coeur. Alors qu'on apprend qu'il est derrière l'excellentissime album de Bobby Womack , il nous lâche discrètement (mais pas trop), deux nouveaux titres sous sa facette du leader de Blur . Get ready for The Puritan streaming here twitter.com/blurofficial at 7.15pm BST #blur instagr.am/p/MlofZly-Ts/ — blur (@blurofficial) Juli 2, 2012 Comment tout ça c'est [...]

Ahead of their 2012 London Olympics gig and their 24 years boxset, Blur have unveiled two new tracks via the medium of twitter. Well, they announced and linked them on twitter, but actually posted them on youtube. Watch 'The Puritan' and 'Under the Westway' below. The tunes are Blur's first new material since 20102s Record Store Day release 'Fool's Day' and could be possibly included on upcoming Blur 21 , which includes all seven Blur albums as well as 15 discs worth of extras. Stream/Watch:

Como prometido, o Blur estreou hoje as suas duas músicas inéditas compostas para as Olimpíadas de Londres. Under The Westway e The Puritan foram divulgadas via Twitter e são o primeiro material novo do grupo liderado por Damon Albarn desde 2010, quando lançaram um single intitulado Fool's Day , para o Record Store Day. Fãs mais atentos já haviam ouvido as duas faixas anterioermente, já que Albarn já vinha tocando ambas em apresentações solo, mas só agora você pode ouvir [...]

So, a couple of hours ago (a week after their Twitter teasing),  Blur debuted their two new songs, Under The Westway and The Puritan . The tracks were delivered via a live performance from a London rooftop, broadcast globally via their website. The band have also released 'lyric' videos for each tune. Check them out below: Both tracks are [...]

Today, Blur performed two new tracks by the way of a live stream. Let's say that again: today, Blur performed TWO NEW TRACKS. If you missed that however, we have both tracks for you, in their entirety below. First of all, anyone expecting another Song 2 of Beetlebum will go away dissapointed. 'Under The Westway' is a forelorn piano ballad with Damon Albarn's croon cutting through some bleak yet tender sounds. 'The Puritan' is a little more upbeat and features an unrelenting synth motif. Both songs will be available to download and [...]

I have always been a huge Brit Pop fan and Blur ranks right up there with the top dogs. Any day is a good day when you get a chance to hear two brand new tracks from the Brit legends. The two tracks 'Under The Westway' and 'The Puritan' were debuted from a rooftop in London, and broadcast via Twitter. Both tracks will be available via iTunes and a 7" will be released August 6th via Parlophone. 'Under The Westway' was an instant must hear song for me with the perfect combination [...]

Damon aseguró que las canciones se escribieron para su próximo concierto en Hyde [...]

Depois de dar algumas dicas sobre seu novo material, o Blur vai apresentar suas duas novas músicas compostas para a apresentação da banda nas Olimpíadas. As faixas Under the Westway e The Puritan já vêm sendo tocadas em apresentações solo de Damon Albarn e estrearão oficialmente em webcast ao vivo transmitido pelo Twitter dia 2 de julho.

Blur no han desaparecido, ni mucho menos . Después de un año duro en el que incluso se llegó a especular con la disolución de los divertidos Gorillaz, Albarn y los suyos acaban de confirmar que vuelven, y de hecho, que lo hacen, por así decirlo, a través de Twitter. Bueno, en realidad no, pero será a través de este desde donde pueda seguirse una entrevista, con actuación y dos temas nuevos incluidos, que han sido anunciados a través del servicio de microblogging . Todo surgía hace unos días a través de un extraño [...]

Ever since Blur announced that they'd be headlining a gig in Hyde Park to close the London Olympics, the music rumour mill has been rife with tales of new material. First it looked there would be something new released, with Graham Coxon making positive sounds whilst promoting his A&E solo album, then Damon Albarn was quoted in The Guardian saying that new material seemed 'unlikely' . Just a few days after that [...]

Damon Albarn sabe lo que hace, pero no lo que quiere. En los últimos meses hemos llegado a verle insinuando el fin de sus dos grupos bandera, Blur y Gorillaz, para echar el freno después, en otras declaraciones . En esta marejada de incertidumbre, Albarn decidió interpretar una nueva canción de Blur el pasado 14 de junio en Londres. Se llama "The Puritan" y, al parecer, según comenta Albarn antes de tocarla, fue grabada la semana anterior y será estrenada dentro de "unas semanas". Dada la simpleza de la canción, que [...]
