Blur<\/b> have shared a new track, “Sticks And Stones,” from the Japanese exclusive edition of their latest album, The Ballad Of Darren<\/I>.<\/p>\n

Guitarist Graham Coxon<\/b>, who provides lead vocals on the track, sings, “It’s written over my face \/ No sleep zone \/ Open up my suitcase \/ Sticks and stones.”<\/p>\n

The band released a deluxe expanded version of The Ballad Of Darren<\/I>, featuring the original tracklist plus two bonus tracks, “The Rabbi” and “The Swan,” on July 21.<\/p>\n

“The older and madder we get, it becomes more essential that what we play is loaded with the right emotion and intention,” Coxon explained about The Ballad of Darren<\/I> before the LP’s release. “Sometimes just a riff doesn’t do the job.”<\/p>\n
