Gorillaz in 'rather good' album shocker
News reaches us today that the Gorillaz (the pseudo-artificial pop group side project of Blur's Damon Albarn) appear to have released a third album of surprisingly high quality.
Plastic Beach, featuring such delights as Superfast Jellyfish (probably the best thing since Clint Eastwood) and White Flag, is a sort of big, musical hug. It really could have been different, because the second album, Demon Days, whilst brilliant in places, really wasn't a match for their eponymous first release. The downwards trend, however, has been inverted, and their latest work grabs you in a multi-music-cultural embrace and squeezes until your eyes bulge like a hamster in a child's excessively loving grasp.
Good news, then, for those of us who like their music to wee all over genre definitions. Thank goodness for that.
