Soon, the Gorillaz will be coming to a screen near you with Song Machine featuring slowthai & Slaves.
Song Machine’s a cartoon music contraption from 2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel, which spits out brand new episodes fresh from the studio as, and when, they happen.
The first episode is titled, Momentary Bliss and features slowthai and Slaves’ and will premiere today January 30th at 19.30 pm GMT HERE.
Best of all, episode one sees the Gorillaz joined by an exciting and ever-evolving roster of as-yet-unannounced collaborators captured live in Kong Studios alongside the world’s most successful virtual band.
Indeed the cameras are rolling 24/7; the fourth wall’s broken, the kettle is on, the chaos is real, the door is open. What’s coming next? Stay tuned.
Moreover, frontman 2D explains, “Hello everyone who is reading these words. I’ll keep this short because once you say things, you can’t unsay them, and they exist in the universe forever, like Tupperware.”
Gorillaz drummer Russel added, “Song Machine is a whole new way of doing what we do. Gorillaz’s breaking the mold ‘cos the mold got old. World is moving faster than a supercharged particle, so we’ve gotta stay ready to drop. We don’t even know who’s stepping through the studio next. Song Machine feeds on the unknown, runs on pure chaos.
So whatever the hell’s coming, we’re primed and ready to produce like there’s no tomorrow. Y’know, just in case….”
Song Machine is a new concept, from one of the most original bands around, with Gorillaz disrupting the paradigm all over again.
Particularly in direct opposition to the usual traditional recording/single/album release cycle, the band again breaks down conventions in their style with spontaneous delivery of episodes throughout the year.
