The new music video is out for the gorillaz first Plastic Beach single, Stylo. The video must have cost them a fortune with Bruce Willis guest starring, and loads of fine CGI and special effects. Jamie Hewlet directed it. This is a real music video. The Gorillaz know how to do things right!!
Here is the description that I got from the press release:
The video follows Gorillaz bass playing demigod Murdoc Niccals through a dangerous trip to the mainland from his new home on Plastic Beach – the namesake of the new record. Something goes badly wrong and Murdoc, guitarist/Cyborg Noodle and vocalist 2D end up in a high speed car chase with a local cop and an unknown assailant. Cyborg Noodle’s circuits start failing and 2D fears for their lives as the gun toting bounty hunter draws ever closer…
Mighty Murdoc remembers, “Someone was chasing me through the desert! Luckily I had my camera crew following me and they captured it all on film, so I’ve cut it up and stuck it back together for my Stylo video! That’ll learn me not to leave the safe, toxic, isolated haven of Plastic Beach…”
