During the two-month American tour, Albarn, along with the band, became increasingly unhappy and homesick, and began writing songs which “created an English atmosphere”. Blur had undergone an ideological and image shift intended to celebrate their English heritage in contrast to the popularity of American grunge bands like Nirvana.
