If you are a fan of Britpop, today is a wonderful day. A (somewhat) recently reunited Blur took to an anonymous London rooftop to perform two new songs, especially written for their upcoming gig closing the London olympics. The first, 'Under The Westway' is a beautiful, mournful ballad that reminds me of 'Best Days' off of 1995's The Great Escape.
The second one, entitled 'The Puritan' is a bouncy little number which also wouldn't have sounded out of place on any of the Britpop Trilogy (1993's Modern Life Is Rubbish, 1994's Parklife and the aforementioned The Great Escape). It's quintessential Blur and I wouldn't have it any other way. Both tracks are available for download on iTunes at this very moment and a limited edition 7" is available for pre-order (to be released on August 6th) here.
Thanks for reading.
