I'm rising on Satirday mornong and taking to a Tibetan mountain top to listen to... erm... The Mountain ... the latest album by Gorillaz. They've been around for 25 years now And this feels like it. A relax into late middle age record. A set of comfy cushions..
Damon Albarn... It's hard to knock the man. He's spread his wings since his Parklife years, headed off for the Global Horizon. This album is haunted by the past. Most notably here, loss of Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's fathers. The ultimate loss of innocence.
This record sounds like what it need to. A celebration of all the contradictions and conflicts of life . The reluctance to let go of youth and the inevtable drift into the void. It's a marvellous record frankly. Give it a listen. Embrace Spring !
