The only cartoon band you'll ever need is back. Gorillaz follow up Demon Days lead single Feel Good Inc with Dare, a funky little ditty with rhythm and atmospherically melancholy piano twinklings.

But it's the vocalist that'll get the attention Dare deserves. "Never did no harm, never did no harm..." rambles The Happy Mondays' never-without-a-beer front man Shaun Ryder. They dared to work with him - and it works.

Sassy backing vocals, courtesy of Rosie Wilson, add the final little je ne sais quoi that adds up to one of Demon Days' highlights. It leaves us to mention the video. Watch what poor Mr Ryder had to endure for his art at the hands of these monkeys...
