. This week . Rolling Stone. ’s Daniel Kreps breaks down the . Gorillaz’s . Plastic Beach. . in our New Music Report. Kreps admits he didn’t immediately hear anything as instantly grabby as . . Demon Days. . ‘ “DARE” or . . Gorillaz. . ’s “Clint Eastwood” on their new disc — the closest relation here is the single “Stylo,” a catchy electro number that features Mos Def and Bobby Womack. But . Plastic Beach. is a real grower, and now he’s convinced it’s Damon Albarn’s most impressive work since Blur’s . 13. . With each listen, new highlights emerge, like the . Think Tank. -ish “Empire Ants” and his personal favorite, “To Binge,” which features the Swedish group Little Dragon. Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, and members of the Clash and De La Soul all cameo on the disc, but the smaller artists — Little Dragon and U.K. rappers Bashy and Kano — make the biggest impact..

| Cleric, 'Regression' -- New Album |
Via Noisecreep By Matt Debenedictis le 2010-03-10 . Filed under: . News. , . New Music. . . . . .
.
For the astutely aware, a . . Cleric. . full-length has been something of a long wait. But for those unaware of a band with this kind of dynamic compositions, please read on as well. 'Regressions' is the first proper long player from the Philadelphia-based act, who've released two self-produced EPs and the much-praised two-song 12-inch 'Cumberland.'.
.
Produced by Colin Marston (. Dysrthymia. , . Krallice. ) at The Thousand Caves, 'Regression' boasts 10 full tracks of the band's own mix of extremes hushed by moments of ambience, which over the years left many confounded when it came to explaining Cleric. Plenty have opted to point at . Fantomas. and early . Dillinger Escape Plan. as references..
