In a recent interview with TASCHEN, Jamie Hewlett shared that the new record will be coming in 2018. Here’s exactly what he shared:
“We’re working on another Gorilllaz album that we’re going to be releasing next year,” he said in a new interview.
“So we’re going straight into the album with no break. Usually we have a good five-year break between each album but we decided: ‘You know what? Let’s keep going’ because there’s ideas for a few more albums so we’re going to go straight into that. That’s will be all of next year and probably the year beyond that.”
“By the end of 2019, we’re probably gonna say, ‘Let’s have a little break’. Or we’re gonna say, ‘Let’s keep going.”
“I’m inventing a new [visual] style for the next album, so that in itself is exciting for me, because you say, ‘Alright, I’ve done that. How do I do it next time and how do I make it different?”.
