Conceived as the first "virtual hip-hop group," Gorillaz blended the musical talents
of Dan "The Automator" Nakamura, Blur's Damon Albarn, Cibo Matto's Miho
Hatori, and Tom Tom Club's Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz with the
arresting visuals of Jamie Hewlett, best known as the creator of the
cult comic Tank Girl. Nakamura's Deltron 3030 cohorts Kid Koala and Del
tha Funkee Homosapien rounded out the creative team behind the Gorillaz
quartet, whose virtual members included 2-D, the cute but spacy
singer/keyboardist; Murdoc, the spooky, possibly Satanic bassist and the
brains behind the group; Russel, a drummer equally inspired by
"Farrakhan and Chaka Khan" and possessed by "funkyphantoms" that
occasionally rise up and provide some zombie-style rapping; and last but
not least, Noodle, a ten-year-old Japanese guitar virtuosa and martial
arts master. The group's website, www.gorillaz.com, showcased Hewlett's
visuals and the group's music in eye- and ear-catching detail.
Gorillaz debuted in late 2000 with the Tomorrow Comes Today EP, which
they followed early the next year with the popular Clint Eastwood
single. A self-titled, full-length debut album arrived in spring 2001.
Gorillaz was a massive worldwide success and achieved platinum-level
sales in the U.S.; worldwide, it sold over seven million copies. The
group's Svengalis were quick to capitalize, and released the B-sides
collection G-Sides, the Phase One: Celebrity Takedown DVD, and the
dub-inspired remix album Laika Come Home in 2002. The project soon went
on hiatus, however, as Albarn resumed work with Blur for their seventh
album, 2003's Think Tank.
When he was ready to begin the next Gorillaz album, Albarn turned to
Danger Mouse (the DJ behind The Grey Album, the infamous mash-up of the
Beatles' White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album) and a host of other
collaborators, including De La Soul, Shaun Ryder, Debbie Harry, Dennis
Hopper, and Martina Topley-Bird. Although Del tha Funkee Homosapien and
Nakamura did not return, 2-D, Russel, Murdoc, and Noodle were all
present and accounted for on Demon Days, another Top Ten hit, which
arrived in spring 2005. The album went double platinum in America and
enjoyed even more success in the U.K.; it also received a host of Grammy
nominations, a sign that the band had secured critical as well as
commercial approval.
Gorillaz broke ground for a new album in 2007, but the project wasn't
released until 2010, when Plastic Beach marked the band's third studio
effort. Greeted to generally positive reviews, Plastic Beach received
more attention for its tour, as ex-Clash members Paul Simonon and Mick
Jones were both part of Gorillaz. During that tour, Albarn recorded a
new Gorillaz album called The Fall on his iPad. Initially digitally
released to fan club members on Christmas Day 2010, The Fall saw a wide
official release in the spring of 2011.
