schmevil | Pirate's Progress, by Gorillaz

Pirate's Progress is an orchestral track off of Gorillaz new Plastic Beach. I'm really liking it, right down from the title, to the arrangement. It's smart, pretty and interesting. Particularly since it comes from the same album as Stylo, which I've babbled about before. (Go watch the video already, Jesus! Masterful editing and effects, I tell you.) I have such a thing for Gorillaz, what with their range, their smart high and low cultural references, and their swagger. (Yeah, I said it kids. Deal).

Unlike Goldfrapp's latest, I'm going to unequivocally recommend Plastic Beach. Buy now, buy often.
