Gorillaz - Self Titled.- Vinyl 2LP

What happens when Blur’s Damon Albarn and Tank Girl’s Jamie Hewlett decide to start a band? You get Gorillaz—the world’s first animated music group, and an album that’s still as weird and brilliant as it was in 2001. This debut record fuses hip-hop, dub, indie rock, and electro in a way that hadn’t been done before, with massive tracks like “Clint Eastwood,” “19‑2000,” and “Tomorrow Comes Today” setting the tone for an entire genre crossover.

Listen if you like: Beck, Massive Attack, Radiohead, The Streets, or Moby – artists that don’t colour inside the lines.

Did you know? The voice of Murdoc (the band’s animated bassist) is actually Damon Albarn putting on a heavy Cockney accent in early interviews—he kept it secret for over a year!

Track highlights: “Clint Eastwood,” “19‑2000,” “Tomorrow Comes Today,” “Rock the House”
