Blur have shared a video for a new song called “St. Charles Square.” It follows “The Narcissist” as the second single from The Ballad of Darren, which is out July 21 via Parlophone. Watch it below. 

The new LP, said Damon Albarn in press materials, is “an aftershock record, reflection and comment on where we find ourselves now.” He added, speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, that the band had to persuade him to build the record around his demoes as a four-piece, rather than just with guitarist Graham Coxon. “A lot of the time, I just do it on my own really,” Albarn said. “The reward of everyone playing together is one I do acknowledge as being maybe the greatest. You’ve got to keep it real. I’ve been playing with them since I was a kid. So to be able to chart that ridiculous journey from being teenagers to being five years off 60 is quite… it’s a little bit odd but wonderful at the same time. It’s wonderful.”

Blur announced their return late last year, scheduling a series of Wembley Stadium shows before unveiling a slate of worldwide festival appearances. The Magic Whip, Blur’s first comeback album, arrived in 2015.
