Exclusive Stream: The Good The Bad and the Queen: "History Song"

What do you get when you put Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz), Paul Simonon (The Clash), Simon Tong (The Verve), and Tony Allen (Fela Kuti) together in a room, and then throw producer Danger Mouse in for good measure?

Well, judging from "History Song", it kinda sounds like Gorillaz minus the hip-hop influence. On the lead-off track from supergroup The Good, the Bad and the Queen's forthcoming self-titled album (due out early January), lo-fi acoustic guitar bumps up against eerie piano and scratchy sound effects, creating a mysterious mood perfect for soundtracking scenes of cartoon intrigue.

Tonight in London, the Good The Bad and the Queen will perform (or perhaps are performing as we speak!) their debut album in its entirety as part of the Electric Proms festival. You can stream the concert here.
