Press info: “13, the thirteenth album of White Denim’s career, is an incandescent,
groove-heavy alchemy of rock, funk, dub, soul and down-dirty blues – and plenty
more besides – it’s imbued with the same questing spirit that’s been the band’s
trademark since first starting in Austin some 20 years ago.”

So far two rad previews.
Crazy wit. Crazy shit.

Band: BLUR

Album: ’13’ named after Damon Albarn‘s London studio – the band’s sixth LP

Released: 15 March 1999 – 20 years ago – it went straight to Number One

ALL MUSIC wrote: “Blur’s penitence for Brit-pop continues with the aptly named 13, which deals with star-crossed situations like personal and professional breakups with Damon Albarn’s longtime girlfriend, Justine Frischmann of Elastica, and the group’s longtime producer, Stephen Street. Building on Blur’s un-pop experiments, the group’s ambitions to expand their musical and emotional horizons result in a half-baked baker’s dozen of songs, featuring some of their most creative peaks and self-indulgent valleys… 13’s strange, frustrating combination of expert musicianship and self-indulgence reveals the sound of a band trying to find itself. With some closer editing, this could have been the emotionally deep, sonically wide album Blur yearns to make.” Full review here. Score: 3.5/5
