feb 28, 2023 - Cracker Island

Description:

Cracker Island is the eighth studio album by the British virtual band Gorillaz, released on 24 February 2023. It is the band's last album to be released on Parlophone and Warner Records.

Cracker Island evolved from the shelved second season of the band's web series Song Machine, with the band instead choosing to release an entirely separate new studio album. Most of the album was recorded in 2021 in Los Angeles with Greg Kurstin producing, and was completed by May 2022. Musically, the album adopts a decidedly pop and synth-pop sound, and includes collaborations with Stevie Nicks, Thundercat, Tame Impala, Bad Bunny, Bootie Brown, and Beck. Gorillaz co-creator and frontman Damon Albarn has described Cracker Island as a loose concept album inspired by modern-day conspiracy theories and online echo chambers.
