Gorillaz have released a surprise new track ‘Garage Palace’ featuring Little Simz along with an accompanying, brilliantly retro, 8-bit video game visualiser.
Collaborating with Little Simz’ illustrator McKay Felt and director Noah Harris, this video adds to their long run of innovative and ground-breaking work, with the game ingeniously following Simz through dark alleys and cloudy skies on a series of combats, missions and obstacles to reach the top of a tower block for her final battle, but not without the collective muscle of Gorillaz behind her. Level UP!
Earlier in the year Gorillaz returned with their new album Humanz. Produced with The Twilight Tone of D /\ P and Remi Kabaka and recorded in London, Paris, New York, Chicago and Jamaica, Humanz comes seven years on from the release of albums The Fall and Plastic Beach.
