Their debut single, ‘Gorilla Guerilla’, arrives today alongside a music video directed by Shaun Ryder’s son Olli Ryder. Check it out below.

    “It’s a pleasure to be part of Mantra of the Cosmos,” Bell said in a statement. “Four like-minded souls who get off on the same music.” Ryder added, “It’s a fucking blast, mate.”

    After making their live debut over the weekend with a surprise show at London’s The Box,  Mantra of the Cosmos are set to perform at Glastonbury later in the month.
