Move over, : There’s a new reunion rumor in town.
Jaime Hewlett, the artist behind the Gorillaz distinct comic visuals, that the Gorillaz are indeed planning to return with a new album next year.
Hewlett’s reveal comes after what has been a five-year absence since 2010’s “Plastic Beach,” the album feared by many to be their last.
The news isn’t a complete shock. In July, Gorillaz mastermind Damon Alburn that he was planning to return to the studio in September to start work on the cartoon quartet’s next release. When it comes to Alburn, a secondary confirmation is certainly worth having, seeing as he told in 2012 that neither the Gorillaz nor would get back together.
Here’s Hewlett’s quote in question, after being asked about the Gorillaz by DIY:
“That’s next year. I’m working on it at the moment, and it’s going very well. I’m very excited. I don’t want to say too much about it, but I’m at that phase of experimentation.
