Your favorite semi-fictional cartoon-fronted band has returned. A few weeks ago Gorillaz started teasing new music with the phrase "The last cult." In their social media posts, singer 2-D is dubbed "the chosen one," Murdoc is named "the great leader," Russel Hobbs is "the seeker of truth," and Noodle is "the scholar"—there was even a post with Murdoc channeling Rasputin. It's still unclear what this all means...an album? An apocalypse?
For now, the group has dropped a new single called "Cracker Island" they've been teasing. It features Thundercat and was produced with Remi Kabaka Jr. and Greg Kurstin. In a press release, 2-D said: “It’s nice to be back, I’m well into our new tune, it brings back weird and scary memories of stuff that hasn’t happened yet.” Trippy!
Listen to "Cracker Island" below.
