Noodle, the cartoon guitarist/member of the Gorillaz has released a playlist that celebrates the work of women artists including the likes of Grimes, Empress Of, Laurie Anderson, and more. The track description by Noodle says:
I found these kick-ass women who in their own individual ways are true pioneers in the writing, production and creation of MUSIC. They have inspired me, and I hope they inspire you too.
The nearly 30 minute mix also features music from Delia Derbyshire, Fatima Al-Qadiri, Mica Levi, Anna Meredith, Kali Uchis, Haitus Kaiyote, and others. Hear it below.
