Gorillaz's Upcoming Album 'The Now Now'
Other than Gorillaz's upcoming live performance at the music event, the British virtual band is also gearing up for the upcoming release of its new album The Now Now. Some of the tracks included in the compilation are "Lake Zurich," "Humility," and more. The album will be available on June 29.
Prior to its release, creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett opened up about The Now Now. The duo revealed that their new project is inspired by the things that are happening "right now." After writing the songs, Albarn and Hewlett decided to call it The Now Now.
During their interview, one of the group's animated members, Noodle, was asked if Gorillaz is in a good place at the moment.
"There is no 'good place' for Gorillaz. We are always between places, never staying still. For now, Murdoc is in a place with lots of bars and locks. Russel is trying to put the world back together like it's a broken teapot. 2D is... well, in a new place. Less fragile, somehow, stronger. It's weird. He's even stopped watching Gilmore Girls,'" explained Noodle.
