Earlier this afternoon, Gorillaz premiered their first single, “Superfast Jellyfish,” from their third album, Plastic Beach, which is set to release early next month. This fresh new track is atypical of Gorillaz’ alternative hip hop/trip rock sound and features an appetizing collabo with legendary MC, De La Soul, and Super Furry Animals bandmember Gruff Rhys. “Jellyfish” opens up with a peppy commercial announcer voiceover enticing you to a “delicious and piping hot breakfast in just under 3 microwave minutes” before taking you on a tantalizingly psychedelic ride that promises to serve up “pretty packages of frosted delights.” This song is guaranteed to be your next jam the next time the weather’s nice enough to have the windows rolled down while you’re cruising in your car. Don’t believe me? Listen for yourself here!
Mark your calendars, Plastic Beach is due out March 9, 2010.
