Some news on the next Gorillaz album..

Einar Örn Benediktsson Joins Gorillaz On Next Album

We recently learned from the wonderful folk over at Iceland Review that singer-songwriter Einar Örn Benediktsson of Icelandic experimentalists Ghostigital (and formerly of the Sugarcubes) was in London last week to record a song with The Gorillaz the virtual band created by Damon Albarn, for their next album.

Benediktsson told the newspaper Morgunblaðið that it was some achievement for him to be included in a group of these great musicians, “keeping in mind that I’m one of the ten worst singers of all time,” he laughed. UK music magazine Q concluded in 2007 that while Björk was the 35th best singer in history, Einar Örn Benediktsson was the fifth worst singer of all time.

Ghostdigital is pretty awesome, so this is pretty exciting..
