Returning after over a decade apart, The Good, The Bad & The Queen share "Gun To The Head", the second single from their long-awaited sophomore album, Merrie Land.

A couple of weeks ago Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Tony Allen and Simon Tong returned as The Good, The Bad & The Queen, and shared their first single and title-track, "Merrie Land".

Continuing the theme of their upcoming album artwork, the new "Gun To The Head" single features visuals with a miming puppet similar to Hugo Fitch from Dead of Night, the 1945 British horror film that inspired the album artwork.

The miming puppet also appeared in the visuals for the title-track revealed last month, "Merrie Land".

Merrie Land is co-produced by Tony Visconti and The Good, The Bad & The Queen, and features tracks written in light of the UK's current political climate, in particular, Britain leaving the EU.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen will play some UK dates before the year ends, including three nights at London's EartH from 4-6 December. Find out more.

"Gun To The Head" is out now. Merrie Land arrives on 16 November via Studio 13. You can pre-order the album now.
