Blur

In November 1995, Blur was in a fascinating transitional phase. They had just released their fourth studio album, *The Great Escape*, earlier that year, on September 11. This album, known for its vibrant Britpop anthems, was a quintessential part of the 90s music scene. In fact, *The Great Escape* was the last of their records to capture the band’s signature playful sound before they shifted gears into a more experimental direction. The live performance of "He Thought Of Cars" on BBC’s *Later... with Jools Holland* showcased their knack for blending introspective lyrics with catchy melodies, perfectly embodying the zeitgeist of a post-*Parklife* era. Interestingly, this period also highlighted Blur's dynamic evolution, setting the stage for their exploration of new musical territories in the years to come. It was a pivotal moment where they balanced commercial success and artistic growth, proving their ability to adapt while captivating audiences.
