History
Blur are the band that kept changing what Britpop meant. Their mid-1990s records were built on music-hall melody, chattering keyboards and character sketches of English life, sung in a deliberately unglamorous London accent while the guitars flicked between punk sharpness and pastoral softness. Parklife in 1994 turned that approach into a national event and swept the Brit Awards the following year, and the singles chart duel with Oasis in 1995 became the most-reported pop rivalry of the decade. Then they walked away from it. The self-titled album of 1997 traded the brass and the jauntiness for American lo-fi noise, and Song 2 became their biggest international hit precisely because it sounded nothing like the band the press had described. Later work leaned towards dub, gospel and quiet melancholy. A listener recognises the tight, melodic bass, the scratchy and inventive guitar, and a voice that slips from sneer to sadness inside one verse.
