Gorillaz — Bananaz

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 11, 2009 11:58 am
I can't even conceptualize how long it must have taken Ceri Levy and company to put Bananaz together. Imagine shooting a documentary over six years and then deciding what footage to use. It must have been a nightmare, a great joy or perhaps both. Bananaz follows Blur's Damon Albarn and animator Jamie Hewlett — the minds behind the animated rock...

Monkey — Journey To The West

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) September 22, 2008 11:07 am
Damon Albarn continues to distance himself from Blur and the entire Brit-pop establishment with his latest foray into modern world music. Monkey is the soundtrack to a "circus opera" of the same name, and Albarn directs primarily Chinese musicians into creating these sinister soundscapes. The songs provide apt audio accompaniment to the...

Gorillaz — D-Sides

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) November 27, 2007 3:42 pm
With D-Sides, the Gorillaz clean their closet/tickle trunk/magic chamber pot or whatever they're calling it to compile a disc each of B-sides and remixes taken from their 2005 Demon Days album. Two discs worth of leftovers yield predictably uneven results, yet Gorillaz' unique melting pot pop manages to charm in a number of spots. The gem "...

Gorillaz — Demon Days

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 24, 2005 3:22 pm
It was impossible to predict what Gorillaz were going to do on their new record — there was no way it could be as shockingly good as their self-titled debut. On Demon Days, they're still solid despite the switch-up of Dan The Automator in favour of Danger Mouse on the production side. Damon Albarn continues handling lead vocals and he maintains...

Gorillaz — The Fall

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 5, 2011 4:30 pm
Damon Albarn recorded The Fall on his Apple iPad while touring North America from Oct. 3 to Nov. 2, 2010. It isn't just him twatting around and tweeking his apps, though. The Clash's Mick Jones and Paul Simonon and others make appearances, and Bobby Womack has an entire track ("Bobby In Phoenix") all to himself, which he accents with some...

Gorillaz Could Retire

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) December 7, 2010 12:53 pm
There comes a point in one's career, or in a series, or in anything entertainment related, where it's time to gracefully bow out. Otherwise, you run the risk of "jumping the shark," as the saying goes — overstaying your welcome and turning your original piece of art into a ridiculous, absurdity-filled approximation of its former self.Many...

U.K. soul singer Daley cruises through the Atlantic Ocean in a submarine in Gorillaz' clip for "Doncamatic." Along his journey, he runs into a fuckload of hammerhead sharks, a gigantic school of fish, a mean-looking great white, and just stumbles upon the Titanic. "Doncamatic" was originally a non-album track, but was added to the re-release of...

Well, if Damon Albarn's started a trend here, recording studios may soon go the way of the Walkman. Or maybe not. At any rate, Albarn recently told NME he's been working on the new Gorillaz album entirely on his iPad, and the follow-up to Plastic Beach could be out in time for Christmas. And screw that assumption that musicians can't write on the...
