    Damon is a true collaborator. When I saw Gorillaz live, EVERY SONG was a different guest singer taking center stage , not just as a decoration on top of the song, but IN the song, truly all the performers on stage becoming ONE entity.

    There’s no room for synthetic instruments in this type of music, it’s got to be all natural. Awesome ❤🎉

    The percussion instrument is a calabash and when placed on something soft and hit with the bottom of the palm it makes a mean kick drum sound! You can just about see it with the bottom of his left hand on some shots.

    Really nice this, but it seemed like Damon really wasn't sure what to add to the groove when he got his pocket synth out, so gave up and started clapping. I love the guy though.

      @MarcWallach 10 років тому +5

      I don't doubt it, but, for what I've seen on his facial expression, he looks like I do when I'm high. But, as a musician myself, I get high on music as well, and that may be the reason of that relaxed expression. Thanks for your coment.

    I met Damon Albarn with Gorillaz. After Fatoumata and Bocoum for the World Circuit Records albums, I thought they were distant people with nothing in common but I am impressed that my musical tastes join in the same path.

    I thought the clapping was a little out of line and made him look like a spectator.. I wish he would have stepped up and did his thing without shame. That little gizmo needed to be heard. he looked high.

    Albarns output has been steadily getting worse since Demon Days though you could only tell through album sales and not through critical reception.
    This song is better than anything off The Magic Whip, Humanz, The now Now, Merrie Land...
    Gone is the cool hip man and replaced by the tired middle age uninteresting musician.
