Monday Bears: Listen to Plastic Beach

I'm not going to lie and tell you I listen to NPR everyday, or ever, for that matter, but every once in a while they offer a gem of an album to listen to in their entirety. Earlier today, NPR gave online listeners a chance to hear Gorillaz' very, very anticipated album Plastic Beach for the first time, outside of singles "Stylo" and "Superfast Jellyfish."

Very quickly, Plastic Beach, thanks to a lot of help from other artists like Snoop Dogg and Bobby Womack, is becoming 2010's first must-listen to album. Expect to hear more from the "group" in the near future, as well as coverage of their should-be awe inspiring performance at Coachella in April.

Listen to the whole album here.

Plastic Beach is scheduled for release March 9 in the U.S. via Virgin Records.
