Gorillaz are no strangers to blending their part-human-part-animation music group on the live stage. However, Damon Albarn and 2-D’s recent performance of “Aries” on Jimmy Kimmel Live was an interesting sight to see.
Adhering to the same social distancing rules that all collaborative performers have been doing, it’s the first time they’ve dueted in this capacity. While Albarn took lead on the vocals, we do catch a clip of 2-D front and center singing one of the verses.
And around the two-minute mark, a guy in a towel with some kind of big mask on starts doing stretches behind 2-D and even acknowledges the camera at the end of his little exercise.
Albarn recently did a special performance of his solo project for Boiler Room while the Gorillaz have been dropping new songs from their Song Machine project throughout the global pandemic. So it’s safe to safe they all have been busy.
Watch Damon Albarn and 2-D’s performance of “Aries” below.
