Blur: The App, a fully immersive and interactive App of everything for the Blur fan, will be available to download for free via iTunes from today, Monday 23rd July 2012.
Launching with iPad tablet and iOS mobile editions, Blur: The App is the most comprehensive artist app of its kind and serves as the ideal companion to 'Blur 21: The Box' which will be released one week later by Parlophone.
Blur: The App features rare and previously unreleased audio material, demos and remixes, as well as exclusive video content, archival EPK and interview footage, live clips and performances not available anywhere else. Download Blur: The App here.
Other features include an immersive interactive timeline, marking Blur's 21 year career to date; a comprehensive videography covering all 27 of the band's music videos; a discography which includes tracklists from early promos, cassettes and alternative CD versions; photo galleries and biographies; as well as an expansive gigography with setlists powered by www.setlist.fm
'Blur 21: The Box' will be released on 30th July 2012. Twenty one years since the release of their debut album 'Leisure' in 1991, the band's body of work has been compiled and gathered together into one box. Blur's seven studio albums are collected with over 5.5 hours of previously unreleased material including 65 tracks, rarities, 3 DVDs, a collector's edition book and special limited edition Seymour 7 inch vinyl.
