The new Gorillaz album is getting closer

It can't be too long until Damon Albarn and co.'s virtual primates return if recent videos are anything to go by.

Gorillaz's co-founder and illustrator and Jamie Hewlett has teased new work from the group through a pair of Instagram clips of them busy in the studio. Information was sparse on both, but new bits are surely coming soon.

We already knew they'd started working on a new LP, with Albarn giving a little bit of detail of what it'd sound like, with the late David Bowie maybe making an appearance.

Head here to see Hewlett's Instagram vids.
