Gorillaz 'Plastic Beach'sequels?

Thu 29th Apr, 2010 in International News

Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn has floated the idea of releasing two sequels to the band’s recent Plastic Beach album.

“I recorded an awful lot of music for this record, about 80 pieces of music in total,” Albarn told Spinner. “So, theoretically there is a part two and part three of Plastic Beach if we ever felt motivated to spend another few years finishing it.

Among the 64 additional tracks that didn’t make it to Plastic Beach volume one are additional collaborations with Plastic Beach guests De La Soul, Mos Def and Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals.

The album’s bonus disc DVD also confirms that The Horrors also recorded a track for the record, which did not make the final cut.

Albarn also suggested that the band would act as a touring band more often in the future. He told the magazine that the band’s headlining set at Coachella, featuring members of the Clash, has proved that Gorillaz is “not just a studio band because it can work in front of 80,000 people. It felt like in our evolution, [Coachella] was an epiphany.”
