News was announced,
headlines were made:
the group Gorillaz has returned.
After announcing their own
on June 10,
the animated quartet
(who haven't released
any albums since late 2010)
provided a roll out
for their album,
which will feature
dozens of guest features.
After that, as recently
as yesterday, Gorillaz
released a batch of new tracks
in the form of innovative
music videos
from the four familiar faces.
Now a bit more grown
and realistic since their 1998 birth.
First was the lead single
"Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)"
which is available in interactive 360
(available at the top)
or traditional 2D.
Featuring Popcaan,
the haunted song
was then followed
up with three "art track"
videos featuring D.R.A.M.,
Vince Staples, and Jehnny Beth.
While four songs in one day
might be a bit much
for the average artist,
especially after being dormant
for quite some time
(Damon Albarn is never dormant though),
it's merely a sliver
of what will become
the upcoming 26 song album.
The Gorillaz album
Humanz (LP No. 5)
will be released
on April 28.
Until then,
I suggest you revisit
their last four albums,
front to back,
back to front,
and prepare yourself properly
for what's to come.
