Gorillaz Are Back!

The world’s most successful virtual band, who have just uploaded a new music video on social media, have also just announced details about their highly anticipated new studio album titled 'Humanz', to be released by Parlophone Records on 28 April.

Produced by Gorillaz, The Twilight Tone of D / P and Remi Kabaka and recorded in London, Paris, New York, Chicago and Jamaica, 'Humanz' comes seven years on from the release of albums 'The Fall' and 'Plastic Beach'.

Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (guitar), Russel Hobbs (drums) and 2D (vocals) are - as always - joined by a stellar line up of featured artists which includes Jehnny Beth (Savages), Danny Brown, Benjamin Clementine, De La Soul, D.R.A.M., Peven Everett, Anthony Hamilton, Grace Jones, Zebra Katz, Kelela, Mavis Staples, Vince Staples, Popcaan, Pusha T, Jamie Principle and Kali Uchis among others.
A six-minute Jamie Hewlett-directed epic animated film, featuring four Humanz tracks - being ‘Saturnz Barz’ in full, plus highlights of ‘Ascension’, ‘Andromeda’ and ‘We Got The Power’ - is now available to watch online.

The 14-track album Humanz is available on standard CD, vinyl and as a digital download, as well as a 19-track 2-CD Deluxe. A limited edition Super Deluxe Vinyl Box Set featuring additional alternative versions of all 14 album tracks will also be available (more details below).
Gorillaz will play the complete album live for fans for the first time, at a secret London location today (Friday 24 March). While Gorillaz will headline the recently announced, sold-out Demon Dayz Festival at Dreamland Margate on 10 June. Full details of dates scheduled for later in the year, will be announced soon.
