Damon Albarn’s iconic virtual music group Gorillaz have unveiled a brand new track.
Entitled Whirlwind, it’s the first new slice of material since 2012’s DoYaThing, a collaboration with James Murphy and Andre 3000, but was actually recorded a few years ago for their last proper collection ‘Plastic Beach’, failing to make the final tracklisting.
Despite that, it’s still a great track and can be checked out below. It was given its premiere play when Albarn rocked up to the BBC Radio 2 studios over the weekend, on which he featured as a guest DJ.
Taken from the ‘Plastic Beach’ Syrian sessions, it features the Lebanese National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music, and is racking up the plays on YouTube - as well as receiving a load of positive comments. One user wrote:
“Wow that's simply amazing. I so would like to hear a full album with these type of instrumentals!”
