Gorillaz Tease New Project

2018-05-27 by INTERNATIONAL POPSTAR STEVEN WILSON | 54 Comments
The world's biggest virtual band Gorillaz appear to be teasing at a new album set to arrive as soon as June 29th.

A teaser website has popped up on the internet containing a brief video with a short musical excerpt, announcing something called "The Now Now" and the date June 29th. Posters promoting the site also appeared at the All Points East Festival in London.

Damon Albarn also debuted two new tracks called "Hollywood" and "Idaho" at shows last year.

the new tracks are good, wish they had a proper release, as singles at least.

Lets hope it’s better than Humanz and there isn’t a feature on every fucking song.

gorillaz was always a colaborative effort between Damon and plenty of other artists. If you don't like heavy ft. albums Gorillaz is a band you shouldn't listen to.

I'll always give them a chance. Can't beat Demon Days, though.

If there is one proper bass line in one of the songs it will be better than the whole humanz album

"gorillaz was always a colaborative effort between Damon and plenty of other artists. If you don't like heavy ft. albums Gorillaz is a band you shouldn't listen to."

this is certainly true, but there was almost always enough time for Damon's talent as a vocalist and songwriter to shine in the previous albums. Humanz pretty much felt like a mixtape of a bunch of different hip-hop artists all rolled together. It wasn't bad for the most part but I would've liked to have had Gorillaz in it.

Nice, I'll be looking forward to this. I was mixed on Humanz, but I've warmed up to it a bit since it first came out.

Does everyone just forget that Plastic Beach had a feature on nearly every song and several tracks without Albarn's voice or what?

Plastic Beach still has more tracks with Albarn prominently singing on them, and it's not as convoluted, long and unfocused as Humanz. So no, sloppy comparison.

"and it's not as convoluted, long and unfocused as Humanz. So no, sloppy comparison."

ok see, there's an argument

and actually Plastic Beach only has 9 songs Albarn prominently sings on, Humanz has 7 which isn't that far off (and in total his vocals appear on 16 of the songs). The real difference in these albums is the songwriting, not the presense of Albarn's voice.

Glad to see this happening. Humanz had a few good tracks, but it put so much focus on the guest spots that it felt like a collaborative project that Damon Albart slapped the Gorillaz name on, an the songwriting was lacking throughout. Couldn't hear Holywood but Idaho is a good sign of things to come.

Yeah the new vid is awesome and I love both songs they put out recently
Here's Lake Zurich if y'all ain't heard that one yet, it's largely instrumental but I think I like it even more than Humil

Lake Zurich was sweet too. Hopefully this isn’t gonna be another Humanz situation where the singles rule but the rest of the album is meh.

well we already know that both Hollywood and Idaho are also good songs so I'd say it's quite unlikely that's the case

i'm pretty sure this album is gonna be way more "Gorilaz-centric" than Humanz cause they've got a whole new storyline thing going on with Murdoc in jail and a new guy replacing him, as well as something about a cartel

they must've learned from the mistake of overhyping humanz and just dropped the release date real quick
