Much to the delight of fans around the world, earlier this year, Gorillaz returned to the public eye with the release of Humanz—the band’s first album since 2010. However, those left needing more Gorillaz are in for a treat, as the band’s own Jamie Hewlett recently revealed during an interview with TASCHEN that the group has plans to release another album next year.

Hewlett said this of the new studio effort during the interview, “We are working on another Gorillaz album which is going to be released next year. … So we’re going straight into the next album with no break. Usually, we have a good five years break, but this time we decided to keep going.”
However, it seems that the new album may deviate from what fans have come to expect. As Hewlett explained, “I’m inventing a new style for the next Gorillaz album. Damon [Albarn] started to send me demos for new songs quite early on and that’s exciting, to hear the new direction.”
