Comments:
Factory sealed brand spanking new

“The Ballad of Darren” is a masterful comeback from Britpop icons. Its contemplative and devastating moments make it a must-listen for fans and newcomers alike. Blur gives Albarn's songs depth and dimension, as Graham Coxon decorates the margins left by the elastic rhythms of Alex James and Dave Rowntree. The Magic Whip hinted at the essence of this chemistry but The Ballad of Darren revels in it, resulting in an album that feels age-appropriate without being stodgy: it's mature and nuanced, cherishing the connections that once were taken for granted but now seem precious.
