Yikes, the Song Machine will return in September? Well, at least they're being upfront about the delay. The song's pretty good, though on first listen I still think Aries/Desolé are the best tracks of this record

I dont believe it's happening, at least not this year. Some really cool names coming up though.
Damon was on Annie Mac, talking about Pac Man, he says that this was the final song to be completed before lockdown, but he says that he's been recording with artists through zoom calls, but that those are "some of my favorite experiments, we're really happy with it"

Experiments... I know what that means. A ton of great material we will never hear 😢
He says the rest of the songs have a "different atmosphere," and with the preview for the next episode you can already tell that it's looking like a much stranger and more ominous song than we've heard yet. Very excited to see the form these next few songs take.Damon was on Annie Mac, talking about Pac Man, he says that this was the final song to be completed before lockdown, but he says that he's been recording with artists through zoom calls, but that those are "some of my favorite experiments, we're really happy with it"

There's a song floating around with Beck. Not sure of the actual title but it's rumoured to be called West Hollywood. It's not part of the Song Machine, but people might still want to check it out. It's a phase 4 or 5 leftover afaik.
Well, actually people don't know if it's not a Song Machine thing, people have uploaded it to YouTube and it gets flagged by Warner as TBC-9, so it could be the ninth song machine track. It's really good honestly, Beck+Gorillaz is something I never knew I needed but damn if it isn't great
I'm guessing it'll either get delayed or, if they're nice, we'll get some bonus tracks.
But Gorillaz are typically not very nice, so i wouldn't count on it
now there's a song featuring St Vincent being sold, recorded in 2017
Hopefully people manage to get it, but I wouldn't get my hopes up

Can't find it anywhere, what the hell is going on with these Gorillaz leaks? Damon must be pissed
Was it confirmed or rumored that Song Machine was going to get an album release?
Yeah, on october the Gorillaz Almanac is scheduled to come out with a Song Machine CD, but honestly with COVID and the "returns in september" thing I'm assuming it'll be delayed
Gorillaz Almanac said SM season 1 CD and assuming one song a month people thought it'd be 10 songs.
Ah, gotcha! The snippet got re-uploaded a minute ago btw. You'll know where to find it.
Thanks for letting me know! Can't make out much due to the tag unfortunately, but what I can hear definitely makes me want to lean towards this being Humanz-era over TNN. Can't be too sure though
rumored that the next episode is Strange Timez ft. Robert Smith. Supposedly pops up when shazaaming the teaser at the end of episode 5
wow, that's an out of left field feature. Between Smith and Hook, Damon must be really into new wave lately.
pretty disappointed they didn't shake up the G-Sides tracklisting and make it the best release it could be
I got the last D-Sides at my shop and only really because it was the last one. I only wanted G-Sides, which I also got.
Episode 6 should be out on the 9th, or so people think. Episode 7 is likely called Valley of the Pagans ft. Beck
Gonna get real interesting after that. I wonder if the almanac CD will spoil the upcoming episodes? I kind of hope not, cos there's some real cool stuff coming

Damn, cooler than Beck and Roger Smith? This is shaping up to be their best record in a long time.
I initially doubted this monthly schedule, but I read a quote from Damon saying that if a record comes out all songs are mostly forgotten, but if done like this, each song has it's time to shine, and I have to agree with him
Damn. I was hoping the rumors weren't true, I cannot stand Robert Smith. 🙁
Shut your mouth, The Cure are timeless. This is a dream collab.
Holy shit, can't wait for this.
Semi-related, but have y'all heard The Cure lately? Few months ago on YouTube I randomly stumbled onto a few of their live sets from last year and was shocked by how great they still sound, especially Robert's vocals. It's been so long since their last album, I guess I just hadn't been paying attention to their touring. They did a bunch of big 2019 festivals like Roksilde and Fuji and they really still sound like they're in their prime.
I saw them at Riot Fest 4 or 5 years back, and they still had it. They didn't struggle to perform one bit.
Daaaamn that sounds great, too bad I have a meeting exactly at the premiere time, gonna have to do my best to wrap it up early
