Gorillaz Back On Says Albarn

Gorillaz

Damon Albarn has revealed that Gorillaz are set to begin work on their third album, the follow-up to 2005's 'Demon Days', despite previously suggesting that the animated collective had gone into retirement.

Albarn told CBCNews: "We came back from summer holidays and realised we could do exactly what we wanted to do with Gorillaz. Essentially, Jamie just had to agree to draw the characters again. Cause I just do what I do anyway. We're not entirely certain [what direction the album will take]; we generally just go with our gut. I dunno. We are obtuse and quite abstract, really. We play a game but it's not strictly the game. Sometimes it really works and sometimes... Actually, usually it really works".

Hewlett added: "I'm so fucking bored of drawing those characters. But then we had a moment where we had a new angle on it... I'm gonna adapt them".

However, this is all a secret, so don't tell anyone else. Hewlett continued: "You're only the second person we've told that Gorillaz is making an album, actually. We were instructed to keep it a secret. When we told the record company, they went 'Woohoo!' - you could hear them shouting in the background - and then said, 'Don't tell anybody!'"
