◇ image via WikipediaGorillaz
Gorillaz is a Alternative rock and Electronic act. Their catalogue also touches Electropop, Hip hop and Indie rock. Their sound grew out of James Ford, Roots Manuva, Popcaan, Everyday Robots and Pauline Black. Those roots explain a lot about how Gorillaz arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Radiohead, The Strokes, Childish Gambino, Foster the People and Massive Attack, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Umphrey's McGee, The Living Tombstone, Inner Wave, Oklou and Vitamin String Quartet, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 104 connections around Gorillaz, reaching back through James Ford and forward to Umphrey's McGee.
