The very highly anticipated album “Cracker Island” by the biggest virtual band on the planet, yes of course the Gorillaz, has landed and I’m happy to say that all of the hype over the last few months has been very much worth it.
“Cracker Island” is the eighth studio album from the band and it takes the listener on an energetic and uplifting journey across its 10 genre-bending collection of songs, which also boast a stellar cast of guest collaborators including Bad Bunny, Stevie Nicks, Adeleye Omotayo, Thundercat, Tame Impala, Bootie Brown and Beck.
“Cracker Island is a 70s love letter to LA. Corduroy, big hair, pool parties, a different time when today was still a thousand tomorrows off. Sit back and party like it’s 1979.” ~ Russel Hobbs (drums)
“Every Gorillaz album is its own universe, behold our latest creation! Am I the all-powerful being at the centre of that universe? Listen and decide for yourself!” ~ Murdoc (bass)
“A trip through many worlds, when I look back it already seems like some weird dream from another place and time.” ~ Noodle (guitar, keys & vocals)
“Apart from nearly being sacrificed in a cult ceremony I really enjoyed making this album.” ~ 2D (vocals & keys)
