Blur - The Magic Whip
 |
| Who: Blur Where: UK What: Indie/Alternative Rock When: 2015
Don’t judge by its cover. This is not a Chinese album. ‘The Magic
Whip’ is Britpop legend Blur’s new full-length studio album in 12 years, and
the best, I guess, they’ve ever come up with. I don’t like the label ‘Britpop’
on them coz what they’ve been doing is nothing pop, and some of which are
completely alien in fact. You see what I mean if you try ‘13’ and ‘Think Tank’.
People usually compare them with Oasis, but there’s nothing incomparable
really. They were more daring and insane to be avant-garde while Oasis tended
to stay in their own comfort zone. This album’s inspired by the city Hong Kong
where people ‘live in tiny houses of their own mistakes’. Sad but true! HK made
this much long-awaited album possible, but it’s not just about it for sure.
