Music video

The music video to "Strobelite" was released on 7 August 2017.[2] It was created by Passion Pictures.

The video is set in a dance club, featuring animated band members 2-D and Noodle dancing center stage amongst a crowd of clubgoers as collaborator Peven Everett sings from the sidelines. A combination of live-action and 3D CGI shots were used to create the video, much like the music video for Gorillaz' 2010 single "Stylo". Motion capture was utilized to animate the virtual band members.[3] The video features cameos by several Gorillaz collaborators, including Vince Staples, Posdnous of De La Soul, Savages' Jehnny Beth, Phil Cornwell, the voice of Gorillaz band member Murdoc Niccals, and Jamie Hewlett, the co-creator of Gorillaz.[2] [4]
