A new documentary film on Blur is set to be released on December 2nd at selected Picturehouse, Odeon, Cineworld and Vue cinemas at cities around the UK including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Edinburgh.
New World Towers cuts between scenes from the band’s impassioned performance at this summer’s Hyde Park show in front of 60,000 fans and the stirring concert in Hong Kong, but also offers a raw, candid glimpse into the interior life of the band as well, with personal documentary footage and band interviews showing just how an opportune recording session unexpectedly gave birth to a new album, while also raising questions about the future of Blur.
The documentary also focuses on the relationship between frontman Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon, giving insight into how their enduring friendship prevailed.
New World Towers, named after a track from their latest album The Magic Whip, gives fans a chance to witness intimate moments of the band in the studio alongside previously uncultured material. It also documents band members reflecting on Blur’s past as well as speculating on the band’s future.
You can watch the trailer for the film below.
