Gorillaz

A dusty, dub-heavy collision of hip-hop beats and melancholic pop. It sounds like a cartoon band playing in a beautiful, decaying city at 2am.

March 24, 2001 · Parlophone

A dusty, tape-saturated collision of dub, hip-hop, and indie rock emerges from a fictional cartoon collective, establishing a gritty blueprint for genre-fluid pop. Co-produced by Dan the Automator, the record thrives on a haunted London basement aesthetic, where skeletal drum machines and heavy basslines meet a weary, deadpan vocal delivery. The result is an atmospheric, urban-night landscape that feels both futuristic and beautifully falling apart at the seams.

Moments Worth Listening For
03Tomorrow Comes TodayThe melancholic melodica line on 'Tomorrow Comes Today' establishes the album's signature dub-infused, late-night atmosphere.
07PunkA sudden, abrasive shift in tempo and tone occurs as 'Punk' injects a brief, chaotic burst of lo-fi garage rock.
05Clint EastwoodThe transition from a slow, brooding groove into a prominent, scratching-heavy hip-hop beat defines the structure of 'Clint Eastwood'.
