Download: The Good, The Bad, & The Queen

Between being the frontman for Blur and the mastermind behind Gorillaz, it's probably safe to assume that Damon Albarn just shits out great music with his morning dump. But somehow, two years back, he managed to get another project off the ground, called The Good, The Bad & The Queen. Easily the most indie of his various projects, 2007's TGTB&TQ is actually only the name of the album - the band, which consists of Albarn, The Clash bassist Paul Simonon, The Verve's Simon Tong, and veteran old-fart drummer Tony Allen - doesn't have a name. Go figure.

This is easily Albarn's most indie-sounding project yet, although I think Gorillaz fans will definitely be able to dig it - one or two of the songs distinctly remind me of "El Manana" off Demon Days. Click below.
