The new Gorillaz album Cracker Island officially has a release date. The 10-track collection is loaded with unique collaborations and is sure to defy genre classification. The highly anticipated project will be released on February 24th.
This is the eighth studio album from the popular animated band founded by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. Expect guest appearances from artists like Stevie Nicks, Adeleye Omotayo Beck, and Bad Bunny. The latest single “New Gold” features Tame Impala and Bootie Brown (The Pharcyde).
The album was recorded in both London and Los Angeles earlier this year. The Gorillaz co-produced with eight-time Grammy Award-winning producer, instrumentalist, and songwriter Greg Kurstin and Remi Kabaka Jr.
New Gorillaz Album Formats
Cracker Island will be available in a variety of different formats and the pre-order is underway via Parlophone. Fans can purchase the album as a digital download and/or CD which includes a booklet and additional artwork.
If you prefer vinyl there are several different versions to choose from including the standard, purple, deluxe, and collectors box sets. You’ll also be able to get Cracker Island on cassette which will feature four different character artwork versions. Sorry, no eight tracks available.
