Gorillaz have announced a new album Humanz to be released on April the 28th. They put out four tracks today on Tidal and their YouTube channel. Am particularly looking forward to the track featuring Grace Jones.

Love Gorillas and Grace Jones so pretty excited about this.
Fookin` hell, it looks like I`m trollin` you Stevie, anyroad I was a late fan of Blur`s music, last year in fact when I got that big blue box with everything inside. Good price too. Next I expect that I will be samling Albarns Trōglodytē endeavours. Did you know that `Gorilla`, is from the Greek `Gorillai`, for `a tribe of hairy women`.
And here it is!

Oooh looks good. He really knows his way around a melody does Damon. If I delete the 5 Interludes immediately (why, folks? Bad! Not needed!)* that will make it more of a manageable proposition too.
* I’m afraid writing like Trump will become a ‘thing’ if it isn’t already. Nice work, Obama.
I really like the idea of Gorillaz and find a swell rises in my chest whenever I hear of a new release. Then, the album arrives and I find there are only really a couple of tracks that actually work (the Shaun Ryder one springs to mind). After a little while, I can’t remember 90% of their work and I’m ripe for a new release.
Bloody Grace Jones. The Benjamin Clementine one is also appealing.
Indeed it is:

Their best album (IMO of course) is Plastic Beach. I enjoy all of it.
Hmm. Fortunately for my wallet, that isn’t as appealing as I feared.
Unfortunately for mine, I loved it…!
Otherwise I agree with your assessment of their music. It’s like some cakes, looks so good but doesn’t actually taste much of anything and certainly nothing like it looked, and afterwards you feel slightly ill and wish you’d eaten a sandwich instead… 🙂
