Gorillaz swing into our lives once again with “Damascus,” another new track from their forthcoming album, The Mountain.
Dropping at the stroke of midnight, “Damascus” is a proper international adventure.
The exotic cut was recorded in Damascus, London, Devon, Mumbai and New York, and features the talents of Syrian artist Omar Souleyman and NYC rapper and singer Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def), both of whom are credited as songwriters, alongside Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn.
Fans got the jump on “Damascus” when it received its live debut at Gorillaz’s surprise performance of The Mountain at London’s Copper Box Arena in September, ahead of spots at Madrid’s Gaia Festival and Together For Palestine at Wembley Arena, when the beloved “cartoon band” was joined on stage by the London Arab Orc
