It has been 30 years since Blur's bolshy model of pop set the tone for the Nineteen Nineties - a cultural and musical second that grew to become referred to as Cool Britannia.

Today the band's frontman Damon Albarn thinks British isolation is decidedly uncool.

In authorities, he stated, there are "a lot of people who are irretrievably tainted by Brexit and have not done the country a favour at all.

"And in truth they've made it extra distant, and I feel diminished us a bit," he told Sky News.

According to Albarn, Brexit "undoubtedly made it more durable to tour however that feeds into that complete narrative concerning the worth of the humanities and creativity, and that is been diminished.

"Brexit definitely hasn't helped that."

Blur's new album, The Ballad of Darren, is their first since 2015, and the band's ninth total.

It might be launched in July, with first single The Narcissist launched this week.

It feels like any individual trying again - and distinctly like a Blur file.

Blur have been fashioned in 1988 - however it wasn't till a couple of years later that they reached worldwide fame with breakthrough albums such Modern Life Is Rubbish in 1993 after which Parklife.

In their youth, their battle with Oasis for No1 was advertising and tabloid heaven - their music the soundtrack of a era.

Since then complete codecs have come and gone - and three many years have passed by since their breakthrough album.

They can afford some middle-age perspective.

"Thirty years ago we didn't have the internet," Albarn notes.

"Thirty years ago people hadn't even imagined social media…Thirty years ago it was very different politically... Thirty years ago people weren't bothered about climate change…"

So why make a brand new file now?

"It's a good question, maybe when people listen to it they will say that exact thing, why did they bother making any more music," Albarn stated.

Guitarist Graham Coxon added: "It's not really anyone's business, it's what you do if you ever feel the need to make music, or be creative if any way.

"It's nobody's enterprise."
