Gorillaz - Cracker Island ft. Thundercat (Studio Recreation Version) [OUTDATED]

[@cristigorillaz]

It's not even officially out yet and I'm obsessed.

[@carolinabarros1523]

I know, right? Listening to it nonstop. The lyrics are creepy as hell if you think about it in terms of cults...and the melody is so awesome! I'm hooked. Maybe I'm already joining the collective in the sky LOL

[@moreover6813]

this vocal mix + the official song's funky guitar and bass = ideal version!

[@ZachariusStorkanus]

Ill be honest even though the official version is clearer, I think the mixing on this adds to the psychedelic mysterious vibe way better.

[@smaz7120]

Agreed

[@blxcktongue]

Couldn’t have said this any better

[@jamishmcquo7590]

2ds voice sounds more faded and distant and thundercat sounds more psychedelic In this version. I find this version much better

[@HunterL850]

Thundercat and Gorillaz is too promising of a combination.

[@littlechicken5551]

You know its official right this is just a studio rendition of the live they played in the tour

I loved the official release, but this one has better "HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!" and it gets me more hyped lol

Lyrics: A cracker island it was born To be collected by the dark They were planting seeds at night To grow a made up paradise Where the truth is autotuned (Don't get too close) By this sadness I consume (Don't get too close) Into my format everyday (Don't get too close) In the end I had to pay (What world is this) In the end I had to pay (I washed my soul) In the end I had to pay (I tried to hide) There's nothing more to say (I tried to hide) They taught themselves to be a cult They didn't know it's many strategies They taught themselves to be a cult They didn't know it's many strategies (Fantasies) (What world is this) (What world is this) A cracker island it was born By the collective from the grave It only come out at night It ate up their paradise Where the truth is auto tuned (Don't get too close) And it's sadness I consume (Don't get too close) And I heard it everyday (Don't get to close) In the end I had to pay (What world is this) Out their on their silver lake (I was not there) Everything it will be great (Beneath the hills) I'm like ship between the tide (I saw myself) I held on to my surprise (We feel the void) They taught themselves to be a cult They didn't know it's many strategies They taught themselves to be a cult They didn't know it's many strategies (Tragedies) On Cracker island it will die (Don't get too close) Join the collective from the sky (Don't get to close) On the shining bolt of light (Don't get too close) Go up to paradise (What world is this) Where the truth is auto tuned (I watch my soul) And it's sadness I consume (I tried to hide) Into my format everyday (I tried to hide) In the end I had to pay (Don't get too close) In the end I had to pay (Don't get too close) In the end I'll be ok (Don't get too close) Nothing more to say Nothing more to say Nothing more to say Nothing more to say

[@roachdoggjr419]

I think a bit of this is wrong, its "on cracker island it was born" and than before the lyric about the grave its "on cracker island it was raised"

Now after hearing the final song, oddly I actually kind of like this version a bit more.

[@_skribblx_920]

Me personally, I listened to this version and fell in love with it. But, I think I enjoy the instrumental of the official release more, it gives me a more culty feeling which I think this new album is going to go for. That doesn't take away from how impressive this version was though, I'm still amazed and love it the same

They taught themselves to be Occult, they didn't know it's many strategies (FOREVER CULT, FOREVER CULT) I love this track, but is it about the music biz, or something darker!? Also amazing job recreating this back then

Although i miss the guitar, the bass and slightly funky vibe, i like how this version sets a much more unsettling atmosphere.
