Awesome Gorillaz

Gorillaz: NOSTALGIAZ

Gorillaz: NOSTALGIAZ

We can’t believe it’s been 25 years since Gorillaz released their first album. Since its start, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s virtual band has defied genres and enlisted the likes of De La Soul, Elton John, Robert Smith, and The Clash. NOSTALGIAZ is a 4-minute retrospective of the virtual band’s most captivating visuals, accompanied by an orchestral medley.

If Gorillaz Played Mr. Grinch

If Gorillaz Played Mr. Grinch

Until now, our favorite cover version of You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch was performed by famed baritone Tay Zonday. Now we have a new contender thanks to musician Mac Glocky and his spot-on impression of Damon Albarn’s ever-changing, animated supergroup Gorillaz. Makes a great addition to any Christmas playlist.

Gorillaz: The Insane Story of the Non-Existent Group

Gorillaz: The Insane Story of the Non-Existent Group

With tracks like Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc., and DARE in their catalog, Gorillaz has made some great music. Throughout most of its history, only two things remained constant – musician Damon Albarn, and artist Jamie Hewlett, who brought the group’s image and backstory to life. Music Vibe explores the history of the band, its characters, and its collaborators.

Instrumentally Accurate Gorillaz

Instrumentally Accurate Gorillaz

If you’ve ever seen the music video for the Gorillaz track Clint Eastwood, you might have noticed that the animated band’s movements don’t sync up with every note of the music. Chickenscopes decided to create an updated version of the opening scene where the music really matches the movements. Original video here.

Gorillaz f/Beck: The Valley of the Pagans

Gorillaz f/Beck: The Valley of the Pagans

We’ve been grooving to the Gorillaz album Song Machine, Season One since it dropped, and their team-up with Beck on The Valley of the Pagans is one of our favorite tracks. Now, we have the official music video, which just happens to have been created in Grand Theft Auto V.

Gorillaz f/Elton John + 6LACK

Gorillaz f/Elton John + 6LACK

The Gorillaz’s Song Machine continues to entertain us with great collaborations, like The Pink Phantom, a emotional and eclectic ballad about a failed relationship that leads to tragedy. This time, the cartoon musicians are accompanied by rapper 6LACK and none other than Sir Elton John on vocals and piano.

Gorillaz f/Robert Smith: Strange Timez

Gorillaz f/Robert Smith: Strange Timez

In the official music video for the track “Strange Timez,” Murdoc and friends land their Winnebago spaceship on the surface of a moon that happens to be home to the inescapable face of The Cure frontman Robert Smith… and a mysterious monolith. From Song Machine: Season One.

Feel Good Inc. with Marbles

Feel Good Inc. with Marbles

Remix artist William Maranci did a great job combining the warm and inviting sounds of Wintergatan’s musical marble machine with Gorillaz’ track Feel Good Inc. As its musician and inventor cranks it up, Maranci has to fool with the BPM a bit, but that’s part of the fun.

Gorillaz: Aries

Gorillaz: Aries

“High tide, and it feels like I’m falling in again.” Gorillaz brings us a great new track from their Song Machine series. Recorded in collaboration with New Order and Joy Division co-founder Peter Hook and Georgia, the tune has the sounds and textures of a long lost track from New Order’s back catalog.

Feel Good Inc. on Stylophone

Feel Good Inc. on Stylophone

Steady, watch me navigate, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Stylophone maestro maromaro1337 performs a great multitrack cover of Gorillaz and De La Soul’s earworm Feel Good Inc., using nothing but inexpensive analog synths to take the place of the vocal and instrumental tracks.

Breaking Down “Feel Good Inc.”

Breaking Down “Feel Good Inc.”

Despite its jangly and upbeat sounds, Gorillaz’s 2005 hit Feel Good Inc. was actually a sharp criticism of the music industry and consumer culture. Polyphonic offers up a great analysis of the track and its music video, and why it’s so clever in the way it delivers its message.
