Aside from Lonesome Street and Ong Ong, it sounds like another Albarn solo album. Same sounds, some slightly downbeat introspection. Not necessarily “a bad thing” but not quite what was expected. Can’t hear much Coxon input there at all.
Anyone else given this a spin yet?
I think it’s very much a Blur album. Graham’s fingerprints are all over it. Love it, so far.
Later…live last Tuesday was cracking- I Broadcast was classic Blur- Damon leaping around showing us his underwear (yipee!), Alex louchely twanging away, Dave, well, drumming like a drummer & Graham making that gorgeous, twisted racket we’ve all missed so much.
