Gorillaz’ Artist Confirms the Band is Back

Gorillaz

It’s official: The greatest fictional-yet-still-real cartoon band of all time, Gorillaz, are making a comeback.

We previously heard word from group co-mastermind Damon Albarn – following the release of his solo LP, “Everyday Robots,” back in October – that his future projects will include a new Gorillaz album, and now the band’s artist & Albarn’s partner-in-crime, Jamie Hewlett, has confirmed it.

Hewlett made the announcement last Friday via new renderings of Gorillaz members Murdoc and Noodle on his Instagram. He teased fans the previous day with a Murdoc pencil sketch.

Fans who commented looking for concrete confirmation were greeted by Hewlett with a simple, three word answer: “Yes Gorillaz Returns.”

The new record is tentatively scheduled for 2016. Gorillaz last effort was 2011’s iPad-recorded “The Fall.”
