Produktbeschreibung

Blur were an English alternative rock band. Formed in London in 1989 as Seymour, the group consisted of singer Damon Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree. Blur's debut album Leisure incorporated the sounds of Madchester and shoegazing. Following a stylistic change influenced by English guitar pop groups such as The Kinks, The Beatles and XTC Blur released the Modern Life Is Rubbish, Parklife and The Great Escape albums. As a result, the band helped to popularise the Britpop genre and achieved mass popularity in the UK, aided by a famous chart battle with rival band Oasis dubbed The Battle of Britpop. In recording their follow-up, Blur the band underwent another reinvention, influenced by the lo-fi style of American indie rock bands such as Pavement. Song 2, one of the album's singles, brought Blur brief mainstream success in the US. The last album featuring Blur's original lineup, 13 found the band members experimenting with electronic music and gospel music, as Albarn wrote more personal lyrics
