Two fantastic albums…

Discovered two fantastic albums in the last couple of days – the first of which is a very odd piece by The Real Tuesday Weld called The Return of the Clerkenwell Kid. Its a wickedly cool album, which sounds like 30′s dance band music mixed with cool hip-hoppery. When I listen, I’m reminded of Morricone and Gainsbourg, and multiple film references from the years – and inexplicably, Babybird - who I was a huge fan of. Truly amazing, eclectic stuff.
The second album is the new Gorillaz album – Demon Days – which is another cool CD, with tons of guest appearances. I heard Neneh Cherry sound really menacing on ‘Kids with Guns’ and Shaun Ryder doing his usual chanting shenanigans on ‘Dare’ (the stand out track for me). Its a great album, and will definately stand up to multiple listens.
