Fans of the Gorillaz have been patiently waiting for the follow-up to 2010’s The Fall, something that has been discussed by core members Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn for years. The two even shared footage from the studio earlier this year, furthering the hope of a 2016 Gorillaz comeback. While a new release is still on the horizon, that disc won’t be available until 2017 according to a new update from Hewlett.
A Gorillaz fan group caught up with Hewlett and posted an update about the release. Read the post below.
WE GOT JAMIE NEWS! This here is HIM and our friend Linda. JAMIE says new GORILLAZ is special, really fuckin special. Can’t be rushed. 2017, yo. Fuck. So, guys, that Gorilla Fund, we got time. Go shop, take vacation, that shit aint happening this year. BUT its gonna be all that and more. And….Jamie follows us. So….you got something to say to him and don’t wanna get yelled at on his IG by his very serious followers, say it here! HE IS HERE. Watching, reading and digging it. He loves this account and appreciates our repping.
We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed in the meantime.
