Damon Albarn premiered a previously unheard Gorillaz track when he sat in for Dermot O'Leary on BBC Radio 2 this weekend. Listen to 'Whirlwind' below.
The 90-second unreleased instrumental track was recorded during 2010's sessions for Plastic Beach, and features the Syrian National Orchestra. Albarn noted during the show that he had lost contact with several members of the orchestra since the political turmoil in the country escalated, and dedicated the song to them in hope of their safety.
Elsewhere in the show, Albarn also interview actor and DJ Idris Elba and Paul Simonon of The Clash - who also plays with Gorillaz live. Listen to the show in its entirety here.
