Gorillaz announce new album Cracker Island out in February
It includes "New Gold," featuring Tame Impala and Bootie Brown, out today
After the release of “Cracker Island” earlier this summer, Gorillaz have announced their new album of the same name. It’s the eighth LP for the animated band, following Song Machine, Volume One: Strange Timez in 2020. Gorillaz’ most recent release was 2021's Meanwhile EP.
The news is accompanied by the single “New Gold,” featuring Tame Impala and Bootie Brown. Fans got a heads-up after the new collaborators joined Gorillaz onstage at the All Points East London festival earlier this month.
The brainchild of the famously very British Damon Albarn, Gorillaz have switched things up this time around by decamping to Silver Lake. It looks like Albarn and his collaborator Jamie Hewlett have been inspired by the mystic imagery of late ‘60s Los Angeles, so it’s not surprising that they’ve teamed up with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, the modern face of psych rock. Fans are encouraged to sign up for something called The Last Cult and join Gorillaz’ quest to heal the world.
