Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released to capitalize on the massive global success of their debut album, 'G Sides' gathers the various B-sides and remixes associated with the virtual band's first phase. The compilation leans heavily into dub and trip-hop textures, providing a more relaxed, esoteric counterpart to their primary studio output. It successfully showcases the project's deep collaborative network and Damon Albarn's increasingly playful experimentation with hip-hop production.
