Gorillaz are spending this whole fall and winter building up to the March release of their new album The Mountain, which they debuted in full at the last show of their House Of Kong residency in London last month before properly announcing with the Sparks collab "The Happy Dictator." Today we get the new LP's second single, "The Manifesto," which teams Damon Albarn and his animated friends with Argentine rapper Trueno. The song also has a posthumous verse from Eminem's old pal Proof of D-12; old heads may recall that D-12 were on one of the earliest Gorillaz singles, "911" from the Bad Company soundtrack in 2001.
Listen to "The Manifesto" below.
In other Gorillaz news, "Feel Good Inc." — arguably their signature song, from the newly 20-year-old Demon Days — was covered (with sampled De La Soul cackles and live cello!) by the polyglot known as Machine Gun Kelly, mgk, or just Colson Baker in his visit to the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. The easy joke here is "More like 'Feel Bad Ick,'" but as Live Lounge covers go, it's fine.
The Mountain is out 3/20 via KONG.
