In fact ça serait plutôt en Octobre:
Blur return to studio - and may make comeback album

Blur, one of the biggest Britpop acts of the 1990s, have agreed to meet for a recording session that may lead to a "comeback" album after years of silence.
The reunion in October could lead to a series of gigs and an album. While fans were hailing the move as a sign that the band would reunite, Dave Rowntree, the group's drummer, said no firm decisions had been made but that the group were cautiously optimistic.
"We will spend one week recording and see what happens," he told The Independent. "We're dipping our toes in the water. We have not made any decision but we'll see how we feel and if the spark is there."
While stressing the band were not technically reforming as "we have never split up", he said other studio get-togethers had led to the creation of albums and subsequent gigs. "That tends to be the way albums start," he said. "That's how the last one started. We get together and either we say 'it's not the right time' or we say 'brilliant'. We don't want to pre-judge the issue right now."
Asked whether he was confident the session would lead to the band making a comeback, Alex James, the band's bass player, said: "I do sincerely hope so but there's no point doing it unless all of us want to because that was what was so good about it. I'm hoping that it'll happen but there's nothing set in stone."

Et puis pq pas le Sun, mais là c'est Novembre :
GREAT news Girls And Boys — BLUR are heading back into the studio.
The Britpop four — including exiled band member GRAHAM COXON — will start recording new material in November.
DAMON ALBARN, DAVE ROWNTREE and ALEX JAMES have been up for it for a while, but guitarist Graham wasn’t keen. But now he’s finally agreed.
A source said: “They’ve all had lots on, with solo projects, cartoon bands, political campaigns and farming. “But by the end of summer, their plates will be clear. They’ll go into the studio together in November.”
Damon and his GORILLAZ co-creator JAMIE HEWLETT are currently working on a Chinese circus production for the Manchester International Festival this summer.
Drummer Dave made a failed bid to become a Labour party councillor. Bassist Alex has been making cheese on his country farm.
And Graham has released some excellent albums but without much chart success.
Graham left Blur after a fall-out in 2002.
The band released one more album before going their separate ways, although they never officially split.

Sinon Le Guardian qui conclut sur l'affaire, et en plus qui balance :
You may have recently gained the impression that, as a band, Blur were pretty much over. Graham Coxon was uncontactable, Dave Rowntree had plans for improving the equality of opportunity in Kensington and Chelsea, Damon Albarn was making operas, while Alex James was writing about cheese and flogging his autobiography.
But if you had gained that impression, you would be a gullible fool. Because, it turns out, the band that defined 1997 are back back back! According to an anonymous source in the Sun.
"They've all had lots on," the source revealed to the most upbeat Goth in Britain, "with solo projects, cartoon bands, political campaigns and farming."
"But, by the end of summer, their plates will be clear. They'll go into the studio in November."
These remarks are all very exciting and have a ring of veracity to them thanks to the slightly odd wording. You can't imagine a record biz bloke getting away with calling Gorillaz a "cartoon band" or summoning up the suitably louche image of the band's lives being a meal which needs to be finished before starting a new course.
If we had any, our money would be on Alex James being the mystery mouth. But we don't, so it's academic.

, précisant bien que c'est un essai qui peut déboucher sur l'enregistrement d'un album ou à un arrêt complet du groupe ("There is a week in the diary in September. But it's a very small thing - it could either be a seed or a full-stop.").
En espérant qu'ils nous feront pas le coup des Pixies, qui malgré leur reformation après 11 ans n'arrivent toujours pas à enregistrer d'album - cela fait 5 ou 6 ans que Graham n'est plus membre du groupe, çà jouera.
