Damon Albarn debuted three songs of upcoming Gorillaz material yesterday during his two hour show on Radio 1. The cuts, ‘Broken,’ ‘Electric Shock’ and ‘Stylo/Binge’ are all in demo form, but offer an eclectic mix of sounds and styles—from droning organ to hip-hop breakdowns and general electro weirdness. No word on who produced these gems, although URB can confirm that it was not Danger Mouse. Albarn was with partner Jamie Hewlett, the illustrator half of the duo. They discussed ‘Going to Syria because I’ve got a real fascination with Arabic orchestral music, We’re going at the end of Mar for Gorillaz.
