Have A Listen To Damon Albarn And Flea’s Supergroup New Funk Track

Damon Albarn, of Blur, Gorillaz, Monkey opera, The Good The Thingy The Dead And The Whatever, and whichever thing we've forgotten about, has yet another new project, this time, called Rocketjuice And The Moon.

Not that he's hugely indulgent these days, oh no.

And you can have a listen to a new track – which features Erykah Badu and Flea on bass – called 'Hey Shooter' if you click over the jump. Expect funk.

Of course, it is a rite of passage for any white musician to try his hand at funk at some point. It must be written in stone somewhere.

And Albarn is clearly having a stab at drawing on some of the Hi Life he's been listening to for all these years. Just don't call it World Music. He hates it when you call it World Music.

So, yeah, dabbling into World Music, Albarn's new track is a sneak preview of the new group and their forthcoming self-titled debut album.

Talking about the group, Albarn said:

"Someone in Lagos did the sleeve design and that's the name he gave it, which suits me because trying to find a name for another band is always tricky."
