The Gorillaz, of course! Albarn takes a busman’s holiday and avails himself of the opportunity to take the kind of sonic risks one would be unlikely to find on a Blur album. This isn’t hip-hop or dance music per se, though \"”Rock the House” is a bona-fide party rap tune, and Dan The Automator adds plenty of hip-hop elements and trip-hop beats throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUltimately, Gorillaz is occupied by Albarn’s arch, twisted pop vision filtered through a dizzying array of electronic sounds and studio manipulations. There are some interesting stylistic experiments, too, as on the Latin-style “Latin Simone,” which features a guest vocal from Cuban legend Ibrahim Ferrer, and “Slow Country,” which, despite its title, is an excursion into the atmospheric land of dub reggae. This is a far cry from Britpop — imagine Blur in a sonic kaleidoscope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOriginally released in 2001, Gorillaz is the band’s debut album. The album reached #3 in the UK and #14 in the US, and includes the hit single “Clint Eastwood,” which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eReleased: 3\/17\/15\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMI\/AMS\/MONO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43370244177979,"sku":"724353113810","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/0665\/3499\/files\/gorillaz-self-titled-debut-cover.webp?v=1774973360","url":"https:\/\/www.deafmanvinyl.com\/products\/gorillaz-gorillaz-debut-2-lp","provider":"Deaf Man Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
