Primarily A Pop Album "Plastic Beach" Contains Lyrics Concerning Consumerism And Ecology-Related Themes. The Album Has Produced Three Singles "Stylo" "Superfast Jellyfish" And "On Melancholy Hill". Creators Of Gorillaz Musician Damon Albarn And Artist Jamie Hewlett Began Working On A New Gorillaz Project In November 2007 Called Carousel Which Evolved Into Plastic Beach The Group's Third Studio Album. In The November 2007 Issue Of Q When Asked What His Top Priority For 2008 Was Damon Albarn Replied "Well I'm Doing The Next Gorillaz Thing But It Won't Be Called Gorillaz." In The February 2008 Gorillaz-Unofficial Interview Jamie Hewlett Elaborated On This Saying "I Think The Idea Behind It Is That It's Like How The Who Presented Their Movies – Tommy And Quadrophenia And So On. Those Were Presented As By 'The Who' Even Though None Of The Members Of The Band Were In The Movies. I Don't Think Anyone From The Who Was In Quadrophenia. But It's The Same People Working On It That's The Principle." In A July 2008 Interview With The Observer He Also Said "Gorillaz Now To Us Is Not Like Four Animated Characters Any More — It's More Like An Organisation Of People Doing New Projects. That's My Ideal Model — Gorillaz Is A Group Of People Who Gave You This And Now Want To Give You New Stuff." In The Observer Interview Hewlett Said That There Is "a New Project Which Damon And I Are Working On Now Called Carousel Which Is Even Bigger And More Difficult Than Monkey And It Isn't Going To Fit Anywhere And No One's Going To Like It Ha Ha Ha! We've Started Work — I've Done A Lot Of Visuals And Damon's Done A Lot Of Music But We Haven't Figured Out How They're Going To Fit Together. I Can't Say Much About It Yet But It's Sort Of Like A Film But Not With One Narrative Story. There's Many Stories Told Around A Bigger Story Set To Music And Done In Live Action Animation All Different Styles Well... Originally It Was A Film But Now We Think It's A Film And It's A Stage Thing As Well And... Look It's Basically Us Doing What The Fuck We Want Without Worrying About Whether It's For A Record Company Or A Film Company Or Whatever. So I'm Not Sure How It'll Pan Out Or Even If It Will Happen. But Damon's Written Around 70 Songs For It And I've Got Great Plans For The Visuals But Right Now At This Moment It's Still Just A Really Good Idea." Carousel Was To Be About The Mystical Aspects Of Britain.
