In April 2015, Blur released their first studio album in twelve years, The Magic Whip . Conceived over five days in Hong Kong after a cancelled Japan tour in 2013, the album was inspired by the city as well. “There’s nothing pastoral about it”, Albarn said, “it’s very urban”. The Magic Whip also marks the return of Coxon, absent on all but one track on Think Tank , and Stephen Street , Blur’s producer during the Britpop era.
