I'm not familiar with Dangermouse (other than the cartoon) but man I can't help but love this track. Cranked it in the car at 7 this morning on way to work! Refreshing to hear something this good on the radio.
Seriously looking into purchasing that album. Thanks for the info..

from pitchfork:
The impending arrival of a new Gorillaz album has been presaged by a new Flash game at Gorillaz.com, in which you can wander through Kong Studios, finding information about the band and their music, and seeing a lot of cartoon animal genitalia. We aren't sure of the actual reason for all this, although a visit to Gorillaz message boards assured us that the game contained many more things we hadn't yet discovered, including Nazi corpses, at which point we breathed a collective sigh of relief that when we signed up for the website, we hadn't used our real names or addresses.
That new album we were speaking of is Demon Days, due out May 24, as previously reported in Pitchfork, and its first single now has a release date as well: "Feel Good Inc." hits the British singles market on May 9. The single includes a guest appearance by De La Soul, while its B-sides in the various single formats (CD, 7", and DVD) will include "Spitting out the Demons", "68 State", and "Bill Murray". The video, like those from the first album, will be directed by Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland.
Looking to the future, there are rumblings that a third Gorillaz album may appear without another four-year gap, at least if cartoon monkeys can be trusted. (And at this point, why not?) The band's guitarist, Noodle, told their official fansite, "I am already busy demo-ing for the third Gorillaz album. Then this trilogy will have its conclusion."
also check gorillaz website, its pretty good fun: LAZY_TITLE

About the album (same source):
Straight from the pages of Billboard, here's a bit of news on those annoying/endearing animated gorillas, Gorillaz. As previously reported, Blur frontthrob Damon Albarn has dusted off his relationship with Tank Girl creator Jaime Hewlett, scooped up hip-hop producer Danger Mouse, and recorded the second Gorillaz album. The new news is that the album now has a title-- Demon Days-- and a sexy May 24 release date to get all excited about.
Their sophomore offering-- co-produced by Mr. Mouse and Albarn himself-- is purported to be a smidgen more menacing than the band's cheeky self-titled 2001 debut. Keeping that in mind, who does dark better than Speed/Waterworld/Blue Velvet villian Dennis Hopper? Yes, it would seem that the Hop takes a turn at spoken-word on the record, although he's not the only guest over the course of the 15-track animated romp, as do the London Community Gospel Choir, De La Soul, Ike Turner, the Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder (the fat one in 24 Hour Party People), Roots Manuva, and the masked wonder MF Doom, who Danger Mouse has worked closely with in the past-- all of whom crash the pixilated party. Unfortunately, the band couldn't be reached for comment, but over at its official unofficial fansite, a small interview with 2-D and Noodle went something like this:
Noodle: The soul of the recording can't avoid being a manifestation of the time, climate and location of the place we were in when it was recorded. Consequently the colours are rich, dark and heavy while the rhythms are clean, strategic and relentless. It has a consciousness to it.
2-D: Like someone has taken the first album and coloured it in.
So, there you go. Tracklist:
01 Intro 02 Last Living Souls 03 Kids With Guns 04 O Green World 05 Dirty Harry 06 Feel Good Inc. 07 El Manana 08 Every Planet We Reach Is Dead 09 November Has Come 10 All Alone 11 White Light 12 DARE 13 Fire Coming Out of a Monkey's Head 14 Don't Get Lost in Heaven 15 Demon Days
