Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez (1LP Black)

As Russel Hobbs somewhat mysteriously explained of the episodic ‘Song Machine’ project in 2020: "Song Machine is a whole new way of doing what we do, Gorillaz breaking the mould ‘cos the mould got old.”
 
Kicking off in January 2020 with ‘Momentary Bliss’ (ft. slowthai and Slaves), Song Machine was the ongoing and ever-evolving process which saw Gorillaz joined by an expanding roster of collaborators captured live in Kong Studios and beyond. Culminating in Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez, it is an expansive collection of 17 tracks embracing a myriad of sounds, styles, genres and attitudes from a breath-taking line-up of guest artists including Beck, Elton John, Fatoumata Diawara, Georgia, Kano, Leee John, Octavian, Peter Hook, Robert Smith, Roxani Arias, ScHoolboy Q, St Vincent and 6LACK, as well as CHAI, EARTHGANG, Goldlink, Joan As Police Woman, JPEGMAFIA, Moonchild Sanelly, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Skepta and of course Tony Allen.
