the NME sez...

BLUR have started work on the follow-up to ’THINK TANK’.

The group have been in the studio this month, and are planning on going back in again after the summer to work on more songs.

Drummer Dave Rowntree told XFM: "We’ve done a week or so recording, and we’ll do another couple of weeks, I think in September. There’s no deadlines we’ll just chip away, like we did with the last one. It’s sounding very good.

"The basis of the record is Damon’s ‘Democrazy’ album so anyone who listens to that will have a good headstart on what we’re doing. That’s the basis, so some of those tracks will end up being on the record. No working titles yet though, no it’s far to early for all that rubbish. This is the fun bit where you don’t have to worry about ridiculous working titles."

No release date has been set for the new album.
