OUT-OF-PRINT 2015 EU 12-track FIRST PRESSING 2-LP pressed on 180gram heavyweight BLACK Vinyl. The Magic Whip is the 8th studio album from the group Blur, made up of Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree. The group are assisted by Mike Smith on horns and Demon Strings for orchestration. When the group was stranded in Tokyo in May 2013 after a canceled music festival, they worked on new material in order to distract themselves during the downtime. The album was not produced right away. In November 2014, Graham Coxon got permission from Damon Albarn to work on the music with producer Stephen Street. After his tour in Australia in December 2014, Albarn returned to Hong Kong for lyrical inspiration for the previously recorded music.

Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "THE MAGIC WHIP is a fascinating snapshot of a group coming to personal and professional crossroads in a strange city where modern living leads to bewilderment and alienation -- subjects Albarn has explored in his many side projects.", "What slowly strikes you about Blur’s long-awaited eighth album, is how reassuringly Blur it feels; advancing the formula but warmly accessible....Clearly the old chemistry came easy.", "Blur’s always been puckish in spirit, its greatest gift the identification and gleeful subversion of listener expectations...", "Blur’s most consistently great album in almost 20 years....It’s a joy to hear Graham Coxon -- undisputedly the best guitarist of his generation -- make a glorious racket once more.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Blur has made its first new album in 16 years, one as quixotic and seductive in its modern searching and subversive pop highs as those Nineties winners.", "An intriguing statement of contemporary anxiety that often feels far more connected to OK COMPUTER and HAIL TO THEIF than it does PARKLIFE and 13.", "The Triumph, Though, Is That Despite Being a Piece with Blur’S Best Work, this Ain’T a Retread."
