13 is the sixth studio album by English alternative rock band Blur, released on 15 March 1999. Moving on from the Britpop sound of Blur's early career, 13 explores experimental, psychedelic and electronic music.
Recording took place from June to October 1998 in London and Reykjavík. The album marks a departure of the band's long-time producer, Stephen Street, with his role being filled by William Orbit. Relationships between the band members were reported to be strained, with members frequently missing from the sessions. Lyrically, the album is significantly darker and more innovative than Blur's previous efforts, being heavily inspired by Damon Albarn's breakup with long-term girlfriend, Justine Frischmann, which followed an increasingly strained relationship.
The album produced three singles – "Tender", "Coffee & TV" and "No Distance Left to Run"
