After months of teasing Damon Albarn confirmed that he is working on a new Gorillaz album.
After Jamie Hewlett launched the 2015 2D versions of 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel on Instagram, fans immediately went crazy as they expect that the animated band is going to produce a new record.
In his tour in Australia, Albarn revealed to ABC News that Gorillaz is going start recording for their new album in September.
"I'm starting recording in September for a new Gorillaz record," Albarn revealed. "I've just been really, really busy so I haven't had a chance."
Albarn admitted that he's very excited to just go ahead and start getting busy with recording new songs for Gorilla'z new album.
"I'd love to just get back in to that routine of being at home and coming to the studio five days a week."
And while he announced his plans for the new album, he failed to mention anything about the band's target release date. However, fans are thinking that it will most likely going to hit shelves next year, given that they will start recording in September.
Together with a new Gorillaz album, Albarn is also going to be very busy with his other band, Blur. He announced his plans for the band in the coming months.
"I would imagine there's some kind of future, but at the moment there's no time for the future - only the present," he said in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald. "Who knows? I'm reluctant to say anything [about Blur], because if I do, it just gets taken out of context and then I'm accused of being a wind-up."
Moreover, Albarn shared making "The Magic Whip" was actually spontaneous for the group after being on break for quite some time.
"It was very easy because we did it over a period of five days in Hong Kong," Albarn said.
"And we didn't tell anyone, didn't have any sort of agenda really, we just jammed.
"So it was a very pleasurable and fluid session."
