Gorillaz Announce New Album 'Cracker Island'

The world’s best virtual band, Gorillaz, are announcing today their next album will be entitled Crack Island, which will arrive on February 24, 2023 on Parlophone.

The band had previously shared the song that gave the album its name, as well its music video, so today’s news is also delivering their collaboration with Tame Impala. The song previously hit fans when they debuted at London’s All Points East Festival earlier this month, for which they brought out Kevin Parker and The Pharcyde’s Bootie Brown. The studio version is just as dope and funky and you can hear it below.

The album will arrive well after the band is done with their Fall 2022 North American tour. Get more info on all that’s to come on the eighth Gorillaz studio album, Cracker Island, below.

Gorillaz band members have some words about their new work:

Guitarist Noodle said of the band’s new record – “Cracker Island is the sound of change and the chorus of the collective.”

Russel Hobbs added – “When the reckoning comes, gotta be ready to step through the gateway. Cracker Island’s got the entry codes…”

2D said – “The path to Cracker Island isn’t easy to find ‘cos it’s underwater.”

And Murdoc Niccals announced – “The hallowed tones of Cracker Island will soundtrack our collective ascension into the new dimension! JOIN ME!”
