Damon Albarn

"Mr. Tembo" (video)

Instead of putting the shine on those Everyday Robots, Damon Albarn salutes playful elephant pal Mr. Tembo in the new video for his solo album's track of the same name.

The ukelele-driven track finds Albarn and a back-up band smiling their way through a performance in an old church, while trunk-waver Tembo is seen on an old-school TV screen. Uniting them all is the gentle jump of the tune, assisted by the sun-soaked gospel harmonies of the Leytonstone City Mission Choir.

You can see the uplifting results, as well as some stop motion animation, down below.
