New Blur Song: "Fool's Day"

Despite the fact that they dispelled any rumors suggesting they were working a on a new album, Blur have decided to record and release a new track for Record Store Day. Entitled "Fool's Day", the song isn't exactly single material - nevertheless, it's is a nice midtempo groover that sounds exactly how a Blur song should. It's particularly great to hear Damon Albarn's voice back in the britpop setup again after hearing him for so long with hip hop beats and an array of synths behind him. His work with Gorillaz in the 00's has become so regular, that it has become somewhat difficult to imagine him singing in a guitar oriented band - as if the Albarn of the 90's was a totally different person. Here's the track, availible now as a free download on http://www.blur.co.uk.
