Double Tap to Zoom

Gorillaz have released a new song with Octavian, titled "Friday 13th." The track is a part of the band's ongoing Song Machine series, serving as the fourth installment.

After being teased just yesterday, "Friday 13th" is introduced to the world via music video. Directed by Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett, the psychedelic clip features headshots of the band and Octavian, superimposed over clips of highways and tunnels, as the project was conceived in isolation due to Covid-19.

“Friday 13th” follows previous Song Machine tunes including “Aries” with New Order’s Peter Hook, “Momentary Bliss” with Slowthai and Slaves, and “Desole” with Malian singer-songwriter Fatoumata Diawara. Be sure to stay tuned for more from the series as Gorillaz move away from traditional album release methods.
