British rockers BLUR have returned to the recording studio and are planni ng to release a new album - just weeks after the band's label boss called for a new record. The Parklife hitmakers released their last album, Think Tank, in 2003, shortly after guitarist Graham Coxon walked away from the band during rec ording.
They successfully returned to the stage last year (09) for a series of gigs, and recently released a limited edition vinyl single as part of a c ampaign to save record stores.
Parlophone Records president Miles Leonard subsequently urged the group to get back in the studio and give fans what they want - a new album.
Now, frontman Damon Albarn has confirmed the band will release a collec tion of new tracks in the "undetermined" future.
He tells NME, "I'm definitely going to do a few more of those seven-inc hes (vinyl records) and at some point in the undetermined future there wi ll be a record at the end of it.
"I love the no pressure aspect. Just going in the studio and recording it in a day is something we haven't done since the B-sides in the early d ays.
"We can't do it all the time. So I don't want anyone to think there's a n album coming soon, it's not possible, but we've got songs!"

The Steve Miller Band To Tour In Support of New Album 'Bingo!'
While the tour will feature his classic rock anthems “Fly Like an Eagle,” “The Joker,” “Rock ‘n Me,” “Take the Money and Run,” and “Abracadabra,” among others, Miller will also perform selected tracks from BINGO! which echoes his early days on the Chicago scene.
BINGO! will be released in 2 formats: a 10-track digipack CD and a special edition with 4 bonus tracks and expanded artwork. The album’s artwork is a creation of legendary Storm Thorgerson whose album packages for Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd are the gold standard in artistic design. The album is a fully realized mature work of a master craftsman, in a sense, “BINGO!” is the album Steve Miller has been waiting all his life to make.
