Gorillaz Work On New Album

In a recent interview with CBC News, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett of the Gorillaz announced that they have started working on their third album, despite rumors Albarn circulated last year of the Gorillaz' demise.

The album is expected to be out sometime around March 21st, according to online retailers. A single preceding the album is reported to be released on March 7th. Famed producer Danger Mouse has also been reportedly working with Albarn on finishing up the unnamed album.

"We’re not entirely certain; we generally just go with our gut", Albarn said in response to a question regarding specifics on the new album, "I dunno. We are obtuse and quite abstract, really. We play a game but it’s not strictly the game. Sometimes it really works and sometimes… [Laughs.] Actually, usually it really works."

Hewlett has hinted at vamping up the original Gorillaz animations to suit the upcoming album. "I’m so f---ing bored of drawing those characters. But then we had a moment where we had a new angle on it", Hewlett said in the CDC interview, "I'm gonna adapt them."
