Gorillaz - Cracker Island

 

Damon Albarn's cartoon band returns with eighth studio album

Includes "Silent Running," "Skinny Ape" and more!

Guests include Stevie Nicks, Thundercat, Tame Impala, Bad Bunny and others

"It's the easiest-going and most purely pleasurable Gorillaz album since their opening one-two punch, 20-some years ago. Guests feel purposeful, filtered into the indie-funk melange with ease." — Rolling Stone

"The likes of Beck and Stevie Nicks play supportive rather than starring roles, and the sonic flavours here recall the noir clubby pop of Humanz (2017). The woofer-pumping reggaeton of Tormenta however sees Albarn step aside to let Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny shine." — Mojo

Cracker Island is the eighth studio album from Gorillaz, an energetic, upbeat,genre-expansive collection of 10 tracks featuring yet another stellar line-up of artist collaborators: Thundercat, Tame Impala, Bad Bunny, Stevie Nicks, Adeleye Omotayo, Bootie Brown and Beck. Recorded in London and LA earlier this year, it is produced by Gorillaz, Remi Kabaka jr. and eight-time Grammy Award-winning producer / multi-instrumentalist / songwriter extraordinaire Greg Kurstin.

The title track "Cracker Island" kickstarted the new campaign this summer, hitting the charts across the globe with a Top 10 video racking up 10 million views in 10 days. The virtual band exploded onto TikTok gaining more than 2.1 million followers in the space of a few months where they continue to innovate, taking virtual characters where no character has been before...
