Because teasing me and raising my hopes to Herculean levels and then crushing them brutally by never touring America is his cruel game, Damon Albarn has been dropping hint that Blur may be reuniting for the second time in two years. But, before your hopes start shooting for the sky, according to Spinner, the project will be “small”:

Lifelong revilers of all things Gallagher brothers, rejoice – NME reports that current Gorillaz frontman/ maybe-still Blur frontman Damon Albarn has stated that, given the success of Blur’s reunion 7” single, “Fool’s Day” (recorded as a limited edition track for Record Store Day), he’d like to leave the door open for more new Blur tracks to be recorded and released in the future.

Blur fans were more than happy to hear about the band’s reunion. It seems like Blur was just happy to see them too. Since their reformation late last year, they’ve been playing tons of comeback shows this summer.
However, what’s greater than having one of your favorite bands from the 90s reunite? A new album, that’s what. According to NME, Blur’s Graham Coxon says he’d be “Up for it, up for doing another. It’d be a really interesting thing to do.”

If you’re anything like us, then one of the reasons you love the summer time is because music festivals overpower the season. Music festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Glastonbury the weather worth it. So what’s next on our social calendar? Glastonbury.
