With a line-up comprising Damon Albarn, Simon Tong, ex-Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Fela Kuti-drummer Tony Allen, and a record produced by the ubiquitous Danger Mouse, the world’s expecting a lot from this “story.” Judging by this first single, the world is gonna get alot, too.
Damon is still partial to his “Feel Good” vocal effect, and the track definitely is informed by his Demon days with Danger, but everything from Allen’s deep pocket to the haunting and hypnotic backdrop make this song a sure shot. Sounds to us like someone is making himself into one of this generation’s most undeniable and enduring talents.
TGTB&TQ have a trio of warm-up gigs in the UK, leading up to their 10/26 performance of their entire record as part of the BBC Electric Proms season. That is one gig for which we’d surely fly, with or without carry-on liquids.
The Good, The Bad And The Queen is out 1/07.

Oh God it’s raining and I’m not complaining it’s filling me up with new life. The stars in the sky bring tears to my eyes. They’re lighting my way tonight…

Graham took the rock away from Damon. Check out Graham’s latest CD for proof!

I enjoyed it, found it off another site this morning and played it with regularity and think it makes a good listen.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear this. Can’t wait for more!
Shit, Damon post-Graham is like Clinton post-Presidency. Thanks for posting this.

Piracy is good.

Awesome. Awesome. Etc.

bah for some reason i expected something that sounds like parklife
this just sounds exactly like the gorillaz, minus the lyrics… disappointing :X
am i the only one that doesn’t like danger mouse?
i think it sounds really good. though i doubt you will remember it in 5 years
For the ageing Clash City Rockers amongst us, it’s great to see Simmo back in music. I hope it works out for him. I like this track a lot.
I’m going to see them, I’m going to see them, you’re not, you’re not!
well… i prefer gorillaz!!!!!!!!!!
T-T sei la
ni modo
yeah it reminds me a little bit gorillaz so what?its pretty good… Damon rocks!!!!!!!! ^^
FANTASTIC – saw the band at their weekend warm up gip in Devon – two tracks fantastic really stuck out good, bad and ugly and Kingdom of Doom – wish I was going to the Round House – Fantastic Friday night DAMON THANK YOU !
He’s genius, but we wouldn’t know him if it weren’t for Damon! Graham’s gold but takes ZERO away from Damon. (It hurts me to read that!) Herculean (and the last 15 years) proves Damons all conquering talent… !
