Gorillaz feat. Little Simz – “Garage Palace”

Gorillaz have released their latest song “Garage Palace,” which features their UK tour-mate Little Simz. Paired with the track, Gorillaz have shared it along with an 8-bit, “beat ’em up” arcade game visualizer by Little Simz’ illustrator McKay Felt and director Noah Harris. See that dope video following Simz and the Gorillaz venture through alleys and clouds (plus an encounter with a big, golden Buddha?) below.

The song premiered on Zane Lowe’s on Beats 1 show, which saw the band’s mastermind Damon Albarn speak on working with Simz. Press play on that after the visualizer. 

“Garage Palace” will appear on the group’s forthcoming Humanz vinyl box set, due out November 3rd. The box set consists of 14 individual pieces of 12-inch different coloured vinyl, packaged in individually art-worked sleeves. All tracks on Humanz are backed with a non-album bonus track, most of which are previously unreleased. The Boxset also Includes a 54-page, cloth-bound, foil-blocked, hardback book of Gorillaz artwork by Jamie Hewlett and a download card, all housed in a bespoke 12-inch vinyl carrying case.
