FIRST NEW VIDEO FROM GORILLAZ TO DEBUT ON YOUTUBE
“What the future was supposed to sound like.” – Daily Telegraph
“‘Stylo’ boasts cameos by R&B vet Bobby Womack, testifying like a Harlem storefront preacher, and Mos Def, sounding like he Skyped in his 16 bars from an interstellar Internet café.” – Rolling Stone
Plastic Beach 2010 – ‘Stylo’ the first music video from the Gorillaz’ forthcoming album Plastic Beach is now available globally on YouTube.
The video follows Gorillaz bass playing demigod Murdoc Niccals through a dangerous trip to the mainland from his new home on Plastic Beach – the namesake of the new record. Something goes badly wrong and Murdoc, guitarist/Cyborg Noodle and vocalist 2D end up in a high speed car chase with a local cop and an unknown assailant. Cyborg Noodle’s circuits start failing and 2D fears for their lives as the gun toting bounty hunter draws ever closer…
Mighty Murdoc remembers, “Someone was chasing me through the desert! Luckily I had my camera crew following me and they captured it all on film, so I’ve cut it up and stuck it back together for my ‘Stylo’ video! That’ll learn me not to leave the safe, toxic, isolated haven of Plastic Beach…”
Murdoc’s new stomping grounds can now be thoroughly explored with the launch of www.Gorillaz.com relocated from the now defunct Kong Studios (RIP) to the band’s newly constructed island hideaway at Plastic Beach.
‘Stylo’ is directed by Jamie Hewlett and produced by Cara Speller for Zombie Flesh Eaters, with live action through HSI Productions in Los Angeles, and animation by Passion Pictures in London.
Plastic Beach will be released on March 9; ‘Stylo’ is available for download now.
