It’s been a long, long wait, but your favourite animated band are back with a brand new track, the apocalyptic ‘Hallelujah Money’.
People are feeling a bit testy about Donald Trump’s imminent inauguration, and the Gorillaz are no different, detailing the themes at work here in an announcement this morning.
“Dark times – u need someone to look up to. Me. Here’s a lightning bolt of truth in a black night. Now piss on! New stuff won’t write itself.”
Premiered on Uproxx, the track features a deep, rich vocal performance from British artist Benjamin Clementine, preaching sardonically from within a Trump Tower elevator, and serves as a very bold but not at all unexpected way for the band to return to our world for the first time since 2011’s The Fall.
This is the first we’ve heard of Gorillaz’ next record, which is due later this year.
