An impromptu recording session in Hong Kong has led to Blur's first new album in more than a decade.

The new album - The Magic Whip - is set for an April 28th release.

The band started recording some songs in Hong Kong after one of their gigs was cancelled in 2013.

Guitarist Graham Coxon later revisited the tracks with a producer and brought in frontman Damon Albarn to write some lyrics.

The album will mark the follow-up to 2003's Think Tank. Graham Coxon had left the band during the recording of that album. However all four members of the band reunited in 2008, and have since toured and released several singles.

The band has released a video for the first single from the album, Go Out. You can check out the video below:
