"'Aries'" is a song by British virtual band Gorillaz featuring drummer Georgia and bassist Peter Hook of the bands Joy Division and New Order. The track was released on 9 April 2020 as the third single for Gorillaz' seventh studio album, 'Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez'. It is part of the 'Song Machine' project, a web series involving the ongoing release of various Gorillaz singles and music videos featuring different guest musicians over the course of 2020.

Music video



The video, directed by Jamie Hewlett and Tim McCourt, features the band members driving vehicles across a highway landscape. 2-D and Murdoc are riding together on a motorcycle, followed by Noodle in a dune buggy (where just prior she is texting someone about 2-D's whereabouts and has grown concerned for him) and finally Russel in a golf kart. Near the end of the video all four of them ride up close to one another. As 2-D continues to sing, Murdoc pulls out a syringe and smiles in a sinister fashion.

On 4 September 2020, Gorillaz released an online driving game based on Aries on their website.
