Recently in an interview with CBC, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz talked about just beginning to put together the next Gorillaz album. You could tell they wanted to spill out a little more about it, but the label has put the clamps on anything to be said about it. Still pretty exciting though if you’re a Gorillaz fan (like me).

In other news Deerhoof has just put out a video for the track Fresh Born off their upsoming album Offend Maggie. This song is classic Deerhoof craziness with an awesome beat, much dancing, and one pissed off gorilla. Check it out:

Finally some new tracks from Vampire Weekend and The Killers have been circulating through the blogsphere. Vampire Weekend’s Ottoman picks up right where they left off with their massively popular debut – a light, fun pop song with gorgeous string accents. The Killers new track, Human, the first single off their much anticipated third album Day & Age (due out in November) is gaining a lot of buzz for its apparent return to Hot Fuss form. After listening to the track I’m not completely sure of that. It’s okay…but not great…hopefully they pull it out with the rest of the album. What do you think?

The new “Human” track by the killers just sounds like a b-side track of a remix. They better get back to their Hot Fuss roots for the rest of the cd. My thoughts after listening to it were, “okay, it’s catchy… but where is the rest of the band?”
anyone else noticed some recycled lyrics in Ottoman? still like it. in fact, i like the use of old lyrics sometimes.
and i hated human the first couple of times i heard it but it’s such a grower.
I’m really liking the new Killers song. It is at least somewhat more of a throwback to Hot Fuss than Sawdust, which I thought was a waste of material. Hot Fuss was hands down one of the biggest influences for my band, Steady Machete. I look forward to what else they come up with on Day and Age.
just luv HUMAM, so catchy , one of the best songs for along time ..just luv it !!!!!!!!!!!!
