Gorillaz now drop “The Valley of the Pagans,” featuring Beck, the latest episode from the critically acclaimed ever-evolving Song Machine, which has seen Gorillaz take us through 2020 with a myriad of sounds, styles, genres, and attitudes from a breath-taking line-up of guest artists captured live in Kong Studios and beyond.
The video for the track, featuring BRIT- and Grammy Award-winning artist Beck, sees the idiosyncratic, West Coast infused “The Valley of the Pagans” blast through the band’s car stereo as animated rockstars 2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel take a chaotic road trip through the streets of Los Angeles, with Beck joining the fun via FaceTime.
