"Don't Bomb..." is demo

Damon Albarn has said that the recently released white label single "Don't Bomb When You're The Bomb" is just a "stupid little" demo recorded about a year ago and not an indication of the sound of the new album.

"It was released later than planned because the first pressings were left at Brighton train station with the word 'bomb' on top, so the police carried out a controlled explosion of the box," he said.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Evening Session, he also revealed that the new Blur album was primarily produced by Ben Hillier and all 25 tracks they've recorded will be released at some point. The band will possibly give another album away free after the first one.

According to Damon, Blur might play a few gigs in America with Massive Attack. The band will also tour the UK if they can find a new guitarist.

"Graham's made a very good decision for himself to have a quieter life...I still want to make music to be heard by everyone, perhaps that was the difference."
