Cracker Island

Gorillaz

A shimmering, narrative-driven collection of synth-pop and psychedelic grooves. Polished, contemplative, and soaked in the hazy light of a digital sunset.

February 24, 2023 · Parlophone

A sleek, sun-baked California haze settles over this streamlined collection, trading the restless, guest-heavy chaos of the past for a polished, high-definition pop focus. The music glides on warm, propulsive basslines and precise, retro-futuristic synthesizers that capture a distinct golden hour melancholy amid themes of digital isolation and modern cults.
