Blur – The Magic Whip: Made in Hong Kong

‘The Magic Whip: Made in Hong Kong’ is a 30-minute film about the making of Blur’s new album. Featuring interviews and studio footage shot by the band it, unintentionally perhaps, offers an interesting insight into how creative non-HongKongers see our home town.

Travel to Hong Kong With Blur – A Comic by KongKee

blur comic1

Blur and local comic artist KongKee worked together to create Travel to Hong Kong With Blur. The comic book, set in a futuristic Hong Kong, is inspired by the band’s new album, The Magic Whip – much of which was written locally when the band toured here in 2013.

Watch KongKee – an artist with the studio Penguin Lab – discusses the making of the comic book and its relationship to his longtime home in this youtube video.

Although Blur and KongKee have never met in person (the band contacted him after reading one of his previous comic’s, Pandaman), the artist explains in the video that the album itself was all he needed: “Every time I listened to The Magic Whip, it all became so clear to me. It’s magical how their music brought me many vivid visions, and I just let them slip out through my pens — the feeling of Blur’s music, the feeling of Hong Kong.”

Travel to Hong Kong With Blur – is available on the Blur website http://shop.blur.co.uk  from 12 June priced GBP10
