BLUR EXPAND THINK TANK
Blur's forthcoming LP - 'Think Tank' - will be the group's first album
to credit additional songwriters, dotmusic can exclusively reveal.
Throughout their 13-year recording career, Blur have always shared
songwriting credits equally between band members Damon Albarn, Alex
James, Graham Coxon and Dave Rowntree.
The only exception to this rule was the 1997 album track, 'You're So
Great', credited solely to the band's recently-departed guitarist Coxon.
However, in Coxon's absence, two new songwriters (namely James Dring and
Mike Smith) have made their way onto the sleevenotes for the band's
long-awaited seventh album, 'Think Tank'.
Dring (Albarn's first cousin) is credited as co-writer on the dark dub
track, 'On The Way To The Club'.
He has previously worked with Damon as assistant engineer on Blur's
'Black Book' (the b-side to 2000 single, 'Music Is My Radar') and on
the Gorillaz b-side, 'Film Music'.
Elsewhere, US saxophonist Mike Smith is credited as co-writer of the
lengthy avant-garde number, 'Jets', and is also thought to be responsible
for the indulgent sax solo that closes the track.
Coxon - who confirmed his acrimonious departure from Blur in October
2002 - is credited on just one track of 'Think Tank', the last song,
'Battery In Your Leg'.
'Think Tank' is released in the UK on May 5, with the single - 'Out
Of Time' - due to reach stores on April 14.
