New Gorillaz
Damon Albarn popped his head into BBC Radio One last week to play some new Gorillaz demos. Demon Days is surely the best cartoon-led album of all time and with Albarn’s recent Chinese opera and album Monkey focusing on the oriental, not to mention the return of Blur this summer means new Gorillaz material is most welcome. Listen to “Broken”, “Electric Shock” and “Binge”.
