Gorillaz Welcome End Of Days With Anti-Trump Anthem "Hallelujah Money"

Gorillaz have ended their ceaseless teasing, finally releasing their first new song since 2011.

The animated simian collective (operated by Damon Albarn and designed by Jamie Hewlett) have teamed up with vocalist Benjamin Clementine for the spooky, politically-charged “Hallelujah Money”.

Released on the eve of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, the video juxtaposes footage of the KKK with American icons like Clint Eastwood and, erm, Spongebob Squarepants.

Here’s President-elect Trump singing along at the Inauguration’s welcome ceremony. (Not to this song, mind you, but to “God Bless The USA”.)

 

Back to the Gorillaz. Midway through the song, Clementine’s spoken-word breakdown seems to specifically reference the world’s worrying new era: “Don’t worry my friend. If this be the end, so shall it be.”

Um, enjoy your weekend?
