Blur have released another new song from 'The Ballad Of Darren' sessions.
Sticks And Stones appears as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of the album, their first full-length release in eight years, and the follow-up 2015's 'The Magic Whip'.
It finds lead guitarist Graham Coxon taking on lead vocal duties over a stomping mid-tempo rhythm with an aesthetic that harks back to the sound on their 2003 album 'Think Tank'. Press play below.
In July, the reunited band released a deluxe expanded version of the record, featuring the original tracklist plus two bonus tracks, The Rabbi and The Swan.
