Gorillaz Release Series of EPs / Episode 3 with Peter Hook

Gorillaz have returned this year with a series of EPs entitled 'Song Machine'. Structure wise, each EP consists of a lead track and "Machine Bitez". EP 3 in particular caught our attention as the lead track "Aries" has been done in collaboration with Peter Hook and Georgia. The New Order bass line is very evident here and if this was not a Gorillaz track, one could guess that Damon Albarn has provided guest vocals on a New Order track.
