Add Date: March 9
Artist: Gorillaz
Album: Plastic Beach
Label: Virgin
Genre: Experimental Rock/Pop/Hip-Hop/Electronic (...etc)
Comments: They're baaaaackkk! Our favorite animated band Gorillaz have returned from their 5-year hiatus following the release of Demon Days to bring us Plastic Beach, the concept of which takes place on a deserted island far away from humanity. Plastic Beach is a groovy, beat-happy pop extraveganza, with guests like Snoop Dogg, De La Soul, Lou Reed (!), and Mos Def (plus many others).
From NPR:"Here, Albarn and company's songs demonstrate a genre-bending collection of glitchy club beats and hip-hop grooves, augmented by brass, glitzy synthesizers and Asian- and Arabic-tinged orchestral harmonies... From the Thriller-infused electro-funk of "Stylo" to the bubbly grooves of "Superfast Jellyfish" and "Some Kind of Nature," there's something for everyone, and often in the same song. Even three albums into what might have initially seemed to be a one-off art project, Gorillaz's Plastic Beach exudes fun."

Utterly awesome; start with the trippy, downtempo "Rhinestone Eyes", the precise, 80's-esque "Stylo", or "Some Kind of Nature", featuring the fabulous Lou Reed.
