The problem with Blur’s fourth album The Great Escape might be that it captured the coke-y atmosphere of mid-90s London a little too well: its songs often sounded as horrible as the characters they satirised. But occasionally a different album peeks out: darker, sadder – epitomised by Best Days’ careworn beauty.
She’s So High’s blank-eyed Syd Barrett-ish vocal notwithstanding, Sing was the one convincing sign that Blur’s debut album was the work of something other than baggy-era also-rans. Its weird mix of lurching guitar noise, pounding drums and piano and childlike chorus is, by turns, eerie and intoxicating; moreover, it doesn’t sound like anyone else.
The last song Graham Coxonrecorded before leaving Blur, Battery in Your Leg has a valedictory quality – the surges of dense noise he produces from his guitar are magnificent – but ultimately feels like a downcast ending, reflecting on the broken relationships in the band: “You ain’t coming back … You can be with me.”.
Blur didn’t squander many great songs on B-sides, but Young and Lovely is the exception. A tender depiction of children growing apart from their parents, it hits a similar emotional bullseye to Madness’s most bittersweet songs. Nearly 20 years later, the live version from Hyde Park has a certain patina of personal experience.
For an album that had its genesis in recording sessions hastily convened as something to do during an unexpected break in a tour, The Magic Whipwas a remarkably strong comeback: too experimental to be accused of warming over past glories, and filled with great songs, of which the joyous Ong Ong is the perfect example.
Blur’s foray into the world of easy listening – a revival was percolating in London clubs while Parklife was being recorded – keys into the music’s lush beauty, rather than its kitsch appeal. The result is a total delight, particularly the subsequent duet version recorded with Françoise Hardy.
Like Oasis’s Champagne Supernova, The Universal has an elegiac quality. The work of bands at their height, realising the moment is fleeting, they might be Britpop’s answers to the anthems that heralded glam’s waning: Mott the Hoople’s Saturday Gigs, T Rex’s Teenage Dream. There’s an eerie prediction of social media – “No one here is alone” – too.
The most disconsolate of 13’s breakup songs, packing one gut-punch line after another: “I don’t want to see you ’cause I know the dreams that you keep”; “when you’re coming down, think of me”. The shattered music fits perfectly: you wonder if the song will end or just collapse in a heap.
An unexpected favourite of Bob Dylan – “I like coffee, I like TV and I like Blur” he told listeners to his Theme Time Radio Hour – Coffee & TV seems to be Graham Coxon ruminating on his unhappy brush with mainstream celebrity and on finding the joy in the mundane, with a lovely sigh of a chorus.
Before a desire for Ray Davies-y satire overwhelmed them, Blur dealt in more straightforward paeans to London life. On an understated high point of Modern Life Is Rubbish, Graham Coxon’s guitar shimmers, Damon Albarn’s Portobello Road-referencing lyric sounds satiated – “I don’t really want to change a thing” – and the chorus is an exhalation of co...
