Gorillaz has always been a group that likes to defy the expectations placed on them. Damon Albarn, the leader of the project demonstrated this in spades with the release of the collective's last album and subsequent tour. After years of silence, the monkey-men broke back on the scene, and despite mixed critical reviews took over the rap world once again.
With the massive break between Humanz and Plastic Beach fans were curious if the group would again take seven years to produce another album. Albarn addressed these concerns in a series of interviews where he let slip he has enough new material to fill several albums. Gorillaz ended their massive tour in Brazil just last month after over a year on the road. While everyone thought this meant they would rest a bit…that is just not the case.
