Plastic Beach (Album)

Standard= Plastic Beach is the third studio album from the virtual band Gorillaz. It was released on March 3rd, 2010, and was the first album to be solely produced by Gorillaz themselves.

Release
Plastic Beach was originally intended to be named Carousel; a total of approximately 70 songs were created for the project by Damon Albarn. Co-founder Jamie Hewlett expressed this in an interview, but the project soon underwent a large rework, chopping the number of used songs down to about 15 (though many unreleased songs were placed in promotions for the album or idents during the live concerts).

Out of all the original band members, 2-D and Murdoc Niccals were the only ones involved. Guitarist Noodle had gone missing five years prior during the recording of the "El Mañana" music video (a track on the second studio album Demon Days). Drummer Russel Hobbs had also gone off the grid; as such, Murdoc utilized a drum machine in his place. In searching for Noodle, Murdoc had instead found her DNA - from it, he created a replacement for her - Cyborg Noodle. She was responsible for the guitar present on many tracks.

Prior to the album's release, only one single was released; Stylo. Idents detailing the whereabouts of the various band members of Gorillaz, past and present, were also released online.

Plastic Beach was finally released on March 3rd, 2010. After its release, three other singles from the album released; Superfast Jellyfish, On Melancholy Hill, and Rhinestone Eyes. The last of these, Rhinestone Eyes, was only released to select radio providers, and was thus not released commercially.

After the album's release, the non-album single Doncamatic made its debut; certain formats of the single also included remixes of the Plastic Beach track "Empire Ants".
