Blur's successful comeback has encouraged Albarn to start building on his first Gorillaz project in four years. Albarn told ABC news in Australia that ""I'm starting recording in September for a new Gorillaz record."I'd love to just get back in to that routine of being at home and coming to the studio five days a week"

This follows Gorillaz artist Jamie Hewlett's Instagram post in January featuring the animated band, captioned 'Yes Gorrilaz Returns'.
