In 2005, XFM News reported that Blur would record an EP, and denied that they would hire a replacement guitarist for Coxon. There were also some aborted recordings made in 2005. Overall, the band kept a low profile and did no studio or touring work as a three-piece. Coxon significantly thawed on the subject of rejoining Blur and in 2007 band members announced that they would reunite and that they intended to record together in August, with the date later being pushed back to September, then October. Though the band members finally met up in October, they posted on their website that they had only “met up for an enjoyable lunch” and that there were no “other music plans for Blur”.
