Following the release of their highly anticipated fifth studio album ‘Humanz’ back in April, Gorillaz have decided to keep the ball rolling and release a new full-length LP in 2018. The confirmation of a forthcoming album comes after Gorillaz band member and illustrator Jamie Hewlett revealed the group’s plans during a conversation with the German art-book publisher TASCHEN:

“We’re working on another Gorillaz album that we’re going to be releasing next year. 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. So that will be all of next year and probably the year beyond that.”

During an interview with Q Magazine back in September, Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn hinted at the arrival of new album after stating: “If we’re going to do more with Gorillaz we don’t want to wait seven years because, y’know, we’re getting on a bit now."
