As well as Hook and Georgia, ‘Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez’ also features the likes of Robert Smith, Beck, St. Vincent and ScHoolboy Q.
Damon Albarn spoke recently about the possibility of a future ‘Song Machine’ collaboration between Gorillaz and Tame Impala, while also hinting that his cartoon band may link up with Sir Paul McCartney as well.
Hook, meanwhile, recently guested on the first episode of Transmissions: The Definitive Story, a new podcast about Joy Division and New Order.
During his guest appearance, the bassist spoke about his memories of meeting Joy Division’s late frontman Ian Curtis for the first time.
âHe was unique and he stuck out, shall we say,” Hook said, before recalling a visit to Curtis’ house at the time in Stretford.
âIan showed me his PA and said: âHey, have you heard this new Iggy Pop album? Itâs just come out this week.â Iâd never heard Iggy Pop before. He played âChina Girlâ off that album and I thought itâs great, and fell in love with it straight away and I thought⊠this is the guy.â
