Gorillaz released a new song “Strange Timez,” featuring The Cure’s Robert Smith, and an accompanying animated video this past Wednesday. The video features the band’s signature animated characters as astronauts on a trip to the moon that has Smith’s face projected on it. The track is the sixth installment of the “Song Machine Concept,” which marks the celebration of the band’s 20th anniversary. The full collection, titled Song Machine: Season One – Strange Timez is scheduled to be released on October 23. While the 11-song installment, featuring 15 non-Gorillaz artists, will be out on standard CD, vinyl and cassette, the Deluxe and Super Deluxe box sets containing 17 songs, will feature 24 non-Gorillaz artists. The band will also be releasing a 210-page comic book, “The Gorillaz Almanac,” that explores Gorillaz’ visual history, on the same day. Beck, Elton John, Fatoumata Diawara, St. Vincent, ex-New Order bassist Peter Hook, rappers ScHoolboy Q and Slowthai are among the artists featured on Song Machine: Season One – Strange Timez.
