Our Take

Album Review: GORILLAZ - The Now Now

In their latest offering, The Now Now, GORILLAZ take us on a sonic journey through the twisted, electro-pop wasteland of their virtual world. With 11 tracks that oscillate between the melancholic and the manic, Damon Albarn and his motley crew of animated misfits prove once again that they are masters of their own musical universe.

From the ethereal opener "Humility" to the frenetic closer "Souk Eye", The Now Now is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and soundscapes. Albarn's trademark croon floats effortlessly over pulsating synths and infectious beats, creating a hypnotic blend of old-school charm and futuristic cool.

Standout tracks like "Lake Zurich" and "Tranz" showcase GORILLAZ at their most eclectic, seamlessly blending elements of funk, hip-hop, and electronica into a heady concoction that is as addictive as it is enigmatic. Meanwhile, guest appearances from the likes of Snoop Dogg and George Benson add an extra layer of star power to an already stellar lineup.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows in the world of GORILLAZ. The darker, more introspective tracks like "Magic City" and "Fire Flies" reveal a vulnerability and rawness that is both compelling and unsettling, showcasing a band that is unafraid to explore the shadows lurking beneath their glossy exterior.

In the end, The Now Now is a triumph of experimentation and creativity, a testament to GORILLAZ's enduring relevance in a music landscape that is constantly evolving. So strap yourself in, dear reader, and prepare to be whisked away on a wild ride through the twisted, kaleidoscopic world of GORILLAZ. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Gorillaz

GORILLAZ is the brainchild of the enigmatic Damon Albarn, known for being the lead singer of the Britpop band Blur. Formed in 1998, this virtual band consists of four animated members: 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs. With their unconventional blend of electronica, hip-hop, and alternative rock, GORILLAZ have carved out their own unique space in the music industry. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2001, was a game-changer, featuring standout tracks like "Clint Eastwood" and "19-2000." Since then, they have continued to push boundaries with their genre-defying sound and innovative visual concepts. GORILLAZ have collaborated with a diverse range of artists, from hip-hop legends like De La Soul and MF DOOM to pop icons like Elton John and Beck. Despite their unconventional approach, GORILLAZ have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success. Their 2010 album "Plastic Beach" was a sonic journey through a dystopian world filled with haunting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. And who can forget their chart-topping hit "Feel Good Inc.," with its infectious hook and clever wordplay? With their latest release, "Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez," GORILLAZ continue to defy expectations and push the boundaries of what a virtual band can achieve. Just like their animated counterparts, the members of GORILLAZ are constantly evolving and reinventing themselves, proving that creativity knows no bounds. Love them or hate them, you can't deny the impact that GORILLAZ have had on the music industry. So sit back, relax, and let the Gorillaz take you on a musical journey like no other.
