Joe Goddard and Hayden Thorpe collaborate on new single 'Unknown Song'

Despite being longtime admirers of each other's work for many years, Joe Goddard and Hayden Thorpe have now come together on a brand new release.

The new single 'Unknown Song' marks the first piece of new material from either artist so far this year, and is the first time in which they have worked together.

Speaking about their new offering, Thorpe said, "The lockdown has really made it apparent how music allows us to feel a synchronicity with our fellow beings. In the absence of touch, music is that sensual meeting point.”

Similarly, Goddard added, “We are in the midst of a crisis but gaining that new appreciation of dancing together is a small positive that I hope to hold onto after all of this.”
