Gorillaz announce new track ‘Cracker Island’

Gorillaz have taken to social media to announce their new upcoming single, 'Cracker Island.'

They shared the news today, posting a short clip that featured each cartoon "member" of Gorillaz alongside the caption "Cracker Island is coming..."

The forthcoming release of ‘Cracker Island’ will mark the first new music from Gorillaz since last year’s Meanwhile EP, which saw the group enlist the likes of Jelani Blackman, AJ Tracey, and Alicai Harley for guest spots.

Though it’s not yet known when ‘Cracker Island’ will drop, a pre-save link for the single can be found here. The track has been performed live during Gorillaz’s current world tour, notably with the inclusion of guest vocals from Thundercat. It’s unconfirmed as of yet whether he’ll appear on the studio mix, though.

Their world tour will see them perform headline shows in Australia, where they are also locked in as co-headliners for Splendour In The Grass alongside Tyler The Creator and The Strokes.

They will also play Dublin's 3Arena on August 17.
