Ahead of their tiny London club show, Blur have released a new track 'There Are Too Many Of Us'. Listen to it below.
The band have already aired 'Go Out' from long-awaited new album The Magic Whip (their first in 12 years) but have now streamed new track 'There Are Too Many Of Us'.
A propulsive, thoughtful take on a world living in tiny houses surrounded by big screens, it's the sort of midtempo thumper: as if Damon had managed to enlist Slavoj iek for a guest verse on Gorillaz' Plastic Beach. It's an interesting leap forward for the band - stepping well outside of the shadow of Britpop.
