When you think about it, with his character as it is as resident megalomaniac, official 2-D torturer and founding bass player of cartoon supergroup Gorillaz, it’s sort of surprising that it’s taken 22 years for Murdoc to come up with this cult idea. With his hunger for the fame and adoration of any and all...
If you know anything at all about Alice Glass, former frontwoman of late 00s semi-creepy dream pop outfit Crystal Castles and current electro-goth queen, it might be surprising that her Prey//IV album, released in February and for which she is about to embark on a lengthy US tour, is technically her debut solo LP. With her...
Ok, we know it’s a bold statement, but if you’ve seen this Venezuelan music and multimedia artist’s aesthetic, the way she pushes boundaries and the quality of her work, you’ve got to draw some parallels. Like David Bowie in the 70s, Arca’s entre into the art world (it seems limiting to just call her a...
Welp, here’s another artist where there have been so many cool things around an anniversary and re-release that we can’t even keep track. Radiohead celebrated the 21st and 22nd anniversaries, respectively of their legendary Kid A Mnesia and Amnesiac albums with a re-issue of the iconic three-disc (or cassette or vinyl) box set which includes...
Apparently while the world was shuttered and shuddering from COVID and watching loads of Netflix and livestreams to stay entertained, A number of David Bowie anniversaries and requisite releases and events were just whizzing by in both 2020 and 2021, and they’re still going. On top of the rock legend’s 75th birthday having just passed...
We must have known this day was coming but fans still weren’t prepared for the last video entry from Gorillaz’s groundbreaking Song Machine Season One format would come so soon. Gorillaz announced on YouTube and their Instagram page that “The Lost Chord” featuring Leee John would be the “season finale,” so to speak, and...
How could we not? The UK livestream site LIVENow streamed the three-performance “Live from Kong Studios” special on December 12-13 (corresponding with different timezones around the world) and the Gorillaz offered an “around the world” experience where fans got to see all three performances and, for over-observant critics like the one typing these words, compare...
So much has happened with Gorillaz and their magical song machine since the release of the video for “Strange Times” and our wordy review of the Robert Smith collab. The beloved virtual band announced that Song Machine would be made into an album or rather a “season,” called Strange Timez. Before it released on October 23, the...
It’s unfortunate that we’re publishing this in such a context, as the original story about Ice Cube and his Contract With Black America was supposed to be just that: a look at the proposal the activist and rapper-turned movie star-turned activist again has been pushing and why it’s important. Unfortunately, the internet got Ice Cube...
OK that’s it – who else was just completely not ready for the emotional, political, fun and funky ball of wax that is “Strange Timez”? Every track so far on the Song Machine series has been monumentally great, with the collabs all adding something new and unique to the mix, but this one is truly something...
In the current social climate, pretty much everyone on the planet could use a bit more inner peace, or at least a break from the elevated stress that COVID and the culmination of equality struggles has precipitated. Many musical artists as well as celebrities have long been proponents of meditation but lately there seems to...
It’s that magical time once again where Gorillaz blow everyone’s minds with a new Song Machine track. “Pac Man” features rap legend Schoolboy Q and apparently of even more consequence to the fans, 2D with pupils. It’s a wild ride to say the least. Musically, “Pac Man” is fun and a throwback to old school, or at...
