Gorillaz unveil new track ‘The God of Lying’ featuring IDLES

Gorillaz have come through to share the third single from the band’s forthcoming new studio album ‘The Mountain’, linking up with IDLES for brand new track ‘The God of Lying’.

Written by Damon Albarn and Joe Talbot and recorded in London, Devon and Mumbai, with Ajay Prasanna on bansuri and percussion by Viraj Acharya, The God of Lying sees the IDLES frontman bring his maverick charisma to a dub-style vocal that delivers a list of questions and scant consolation to tap into the album’s underlying themes of societal and political unease.

Gorillaz frontman 2D said – “Can I tell you a secret? Doubt is very tiring but questioning things is really good for you.”

The Mountain is Gorillaz’ ninth studio album, an expansive sonic landscape of instruments and sounds, richly layered with voices, melodies and addictive beats, spanning a collection of 15 songs that embody the very essence of Gorillaz’ collaborative ethos.
