Gorillaz Launch Part Featurette Part Music Video Series Song Machine
Animated videos are becoming increasingly popular with major label music artists. Last year, Sturgill Simpson teamed up with Netflix with an anime-inspired accompaniment of his newest record Sound & Fury and Kid Cudi is doing the same thing. Now it’s the original animated band themselves stepping in with a new Youtube series entitled Song Machine.
As mentioned, the series has elements of behind-the-scenes featurettes as the band works on music, a music video for the track “Momentary Bliss fr. slowthai & Slaves”, and even cameos from the band’s various animated characters that are typically the stars of previous videos for the UK band, but in this case, are more used in various spots. Check out the first episode below.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
