After months of speculation and many teasing hints, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s Gorillaz have announced details of their new album Humanz, the band’s first in six years.

Humanz sees Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (guitar), Russel Hobbs (drums) and 2D (vocals) reunited and backed by some very special guests including Savages’ Jehnny Beth, Danny Brown, Benjamin Clementine, De La Soul, Grace Jones, Zebra Katz, Vince Staples, Pusha T, and many more.

Recorded in London, Paris, New York, Chicago and Jamaica, the new record is set for release on 28th April via Parlophone, however you don’t have to wait that long for your Gorillaz fix. Alongside the announcement, the band have released a special 360-degree VR Jamie Hewlett-directed animated film titled Saturnz Barz (Spirit House), which features four tracks from the upcoming album: Saturnz Barz in full, plus highlights of Ascension, Andromeda and We Got The Power.
