New Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach, “nearly finished”
Damon Albarn has been talking a lot of talk concerning a new Gorillaz album for quite some time. In a newly published interview with The Guardian (via TwentyFourBit), the project’s mastermind finally provided a few actual, real details.
First and foremost, the followup to 2005’s Demon Days will be titled Plastic Beach and, according to Albarn, it’s “the most pop record I ever made.” It also might be his most eclectic; Lou Reed, Snoop Dogg, Bobby Womack, Barry Gibb, Mos Def, and The Horrors are all confirmed as guest contributors. Yeah, seriously.
There is no release date for Plastic Beach quite yet as the album is only “nearly finished.” That said, Albarn also revealed that he has reunited with Flea and Tony Allen for a completely unrelated new album. The trio had previously collaborated on the Africa Express project. So, you’ll have more thoughts of anticipation to hold you over…
Pretty sure it’s released in the USA on March 8 or 9 2010… and I can’t wait.

I’m gonna be pissed if it isn’t as awsome as Demon Days. I think he’s had plenty of time to come up with something great.
yess so pumped! i really wish he had a date for it to be released though. I wanna either pre-order or be able to hear a single :[ LOVE YOU DAMON! keep it up man, ur only 41.
YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE

the only news that would be better than this is if Albarn announced that a Gorillaz movie is coming out.
Thank Damon! Finally! Stepping closer to another almighty Gorillaz album, I cannot wait.
D.A, one of the most important people in music today.
