Gorillaz |OT| Plastic Demon Beach Dayz Now Now Season1

- Start date

I fucking loved Reject False Icons so seeing them do episodes for songs followed by the release of the song is going to be amazing, but it's also their TV show too. This is going to be wild

Damon says this Song Machine thing is going to be a song/video a month, basically forever. 13 songs to start with this first season. They're already recording for future seasons, with Schoolboy Q and Sampa the Great.
YOOOOOO, Q?
This is basically "The Cave" but with the songs available on streaming.
Not sure how I feel about the music release like that. BUT I like the videos with so much personality of the band and experimental animation.
this is a great idea. could lead to lots of S/T type experimentation. Humanz and The Now Now were too straightforward, doing albums with a coherent sound at this point is too restricting

That art supposed to invoke the sense that the next track will be very self-titled sounding too? :O
This is an insane lineup. Q and then Tame? This collection of tracks is essential Pitchforkcore
Q isnt happening for a while, Damon said that one was "seasons away"
We'll probably get a Peggy collab this year tho
Yeah this is a format I'd never expect for Gorrilaz, but I'm all fucking for it
Gorillaz liked a tweet from someone asking them to do a collab with Tyler. He was on the fake festival poster they posted last year, along with Slowthai and Slaves, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have a track with him coming this year.
I always suspected - Guiltybeatz was on that poster and he said a few months prior that he did a session with Gorillaz (which was our first real hint they were recording something.) Figured anyone alive on that list was fair game. Now I'm looking at it again and imagining a Gorillaz x Death Grips x Black Midi song and crying
Yeah the one that stood out was Death Grips which I could see being insane.
There are so many songs and collabs in the Gorillaz vault that we'll just never hear, and it drives me crazy.
I think about the 12 minute krautrock song that got cut from PB at the absolute last minute, Leviathan (ft. The Horrors & Gruff Rhys), every day.
Can someone post the poster here? I don't think I've seen it. Thanks.
So good! Please give us P-Sides.
So good! Please give us P-Sides.
Damon's decision making with PB's production is some of the baffling shit I've ever seen a major artist do. So much amazing stuff was cut, and I'll never understand why. Glitter Freeze was supposed to be 8 minutes long and have crazy guitars and screaming verses between Mark E Smith and Ghostigital. Electric Shock with Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and De La Soul was a key song until it was cut near the end of production. The common theory is that after Damon took a break in the middle of 2009 to do the reunion shows with Blur, he got accustomed to packed arenas full of excited fans jamming out to pop music, and when he returned to PB's production to finish it up he hastily reassembled the project to be a pop album in order to chase that high again.
An interview from April 2010 has a radio host telling Damon that PB turned out great, and Damon snaps "did it??" back at him, so I think he realized very quickly that he fucked it up.
hope we get seasides at some point. we should've got it after PB but the production was such a shitshow that its not really surprising that they didn't feel like releasing it
Damon was contractually obligated to give EMI another album in 2011 - EMI and Jamie were both expecting and planning on Sea Sides. But during the Plastic Beach tour as tensions between Damon and Jamie worsened, Damon decided that he was done with Gorillaz and didn't want to have to go back to the studio and finish up those songs after the tour. So he shat an album out on his iPad during the tour and gave that to EMI instead, effectively taking his toys and going home. It's really depressing.
I spoke to Jamie about releasing these songs at Demon Dayz 2018, after a petition was signed by over ten thousand fans asking nicely for the band to put some of them out, and he was very receptive to it. Maybe we'll get a few through Song Machine eventually. We'll see.
Damn. That's a lineup if I've ever seen one, lol. If only half of those artists end up on Song Machine...
I have no idea who that is, and I'm not gonna look it up so I'll be surprised once the song drops.
once a month. presumably a thursday everytime, but could be any time during the given month
sounds good, love Russ with those carrots lol. Really awesome to see foreign language vocals take prominence on a big gorillaz release for the first time since Latin Simone
Worth noting that the Spotify version is a tad shorter, I thought the instrumental bits dragged on a bit too much in the video, but that's fixed over there for me, great song as always
I think the video one they made longer for the video, the Apple Music/Spotify one is the OG?
