Leisure

Product Information

Coxon left the band during early recording sessions for Think Tank, and Blur disbanded for several years after the end of the album's associated tour, with the members engaged in other projects. Blur's self-titled fifth album (1997) saw another stylistic shift, influenced by the lo-fi styles of American indie rock groups, and became their third UK chart-topping album. Their seventh album, Think Tank (2003), continued their experimentation with electronic sounds and was also shaped by Albarn's growing interest in hip hop and world music, featuring more minimal guitar work. Two years later we made the move to our present address, 35 The Headrow, where we have remained ever since.

This paradoxical presentation offers a thrilling twist that heightens the intriguing aura of the album. A journey through the "Leisure" vinyl album by Blur is like traversing a musical terrain where each turn unveils a new and exciting facet of the Britpop realm. Described by Classic Rock Magazine as “The sound of what might’ve happened if Clutch got a bit stoned with Audioslave and Zakk Wylde – and then jammed late into the night”, These Wicked Rivers blend.

I have hold my hands two near mint looking copies and both have had slight surface noise on silent parts.

Their next album, 13 (1999) saw the band experimenting with electronic and gospel music, and featured more personal lyrics from Albarn.
