[Listen] Blur - "Under the Westway" x "The Puritan"

Yesterday evening Blur premiered two brand new tracks live via Twitter. They actually performed live from a rooftop on London, albeit a rather rainy rooftop, and streamed the entire thing online. The result is two brand new tracks "Under the Westway" and "The Puritan" and luckily for us Blur uploaded some lyrics videos immediately after the stream and they can be enjoyed right here. Up at the top is "Under The Westway" while after the jump you can enjoy "The Puritan". 

The band have hinted that their performance at the Olympics, which these tracks were written for, may be their last but to me it seems like Damon can't sit still for too long. So for now let's enjoy the new tracks.
