Gorillaz - Tomorrow Comes Today

Before the world-building fully crystallized, Gorillaz arrived in fragments—loose, dub-soaked, and deliberately low-key.

Released in 2000, Tomorrow Comes Today functions as an early sketch rather than a manifesto, introducing the project’s blend of hip-hop, dub, and alternative sensibility without spectacle or narrative overload. It predates the band’s mainstream breakthrough, capturing a moment where mood and texture mattered more than concept or chart ambition.

Lazy breakbeats, hazy melodica lines, and blurred bass grooves define the EP’s understated sound. Vocals drift rather than command, reinforcing a sense of detachment and late-night introspection that would later become a core part of the Gorillaz identity.

Recommended for listeners interested in Gorillaz at their most understated, early 2000s downtempo hybrids, and releases that document a project taking shape before its full cultural weight sets in.
