[情報] Blur scrap work on 'Elton John's thingy'
BLUR remain on course to finish their new album before Christmas, with
a total of 17 songs now mixed.
Blur are currently in Devon, putting the final touches to their seventh
studio album, due early in 2003.
Since heading to the south-west, the band have been joined by producer
William Orbit, who bassist Alex James claims has been "doing some
decorating on some tracks and a bit of plumbing". Stephen Street,
who produced their classic 'Parklife' album, as well as a host of others,
has also been in the studio with the group.
Writing on the band's official website, James added: "Mixed 17 tracks now.
The song now known as 'Elton John's thingy' has been formally scrapped.
Song 15 makes the hairs stand up. Get ready. Moving into stillness."
A hint of the band's new direction was revealed last week, with the track
'Don't Bomb When You Are The Bomb' hitting the airwaves to a largely32;1
shocked reaction from fans.
Radio 1's 'Evening Session' presenter Steve Lamacq was first to air the
record on Tuesday last week (November 12), saying he had bought the
seven-inch white label single, with nothing but mysterious Arabic writing
on it, in a record shop in the West End of London.
A spokesperson confirmed to NME.COM that the track is definitely Blur,
saying: "They always said that they would put out something on a white
label, they aren't doing anything different than they said they would."
As far back as March, frontman Damon Albarn had pin-pointed 'Don't Bomb
When You Are The Bomb' as a potential single, and he had stated the band's
intention to release something as a white label: "We'll put a white label
out in the next couple of months and it won't have our name on it, but
it'll take a lot of people by surprise. We're hoping people play it not
knowing who it is."
