Blur just released their great new album The Ballad of Darren (read our review), and in addition to the standard versions, there’s a deluxe vinyl edition that comes with a bonus 7″ featuring two bonus tracks. Those have now been shared to streaming services.
The band have always had a way with b-sides, and these are no different. “The Rabbi” is upbeat and super-catchy, while “The Swan” is another of their swaying ballads. Both are very good and you can stream them below.
We also ranked all nine of Blur’s studio albums from “bollocks” to “brill” and you can read that here.
Blur are also performing The Ballad of Darren in full as part of a livestream performance this week.
