Gorillaz have a bunch of collaborators on their upcoming album The Mountain. Among them is Idles, and today (November 6), they have shared their collaboration, “The God Of Lying.”
A press release notes the song “taps into the album’s underlying themes of societal and political unease.” The tune sees Talbot delivering a dub-inspired vocal performance.
Damon Albarn and Joe Talbot co-wrote the song. Gorillaz’ 2D says in a statement, “Can I tell you a secret? Doubt is very tiring but questioning things is really good for you.”
