Listen to GORILLAZ New Track ‘Sorcererz’ From Upcoming Album THE NOW NOW

GORILLAZ Release New Studio Album The Now Now Out June 29th - Listen to Track

It’s been a busy week for Gorillaz. Kicking off with news of The Now Now – a new studio album from the World’s Most Successful Virtual Act*, produced by Gorillaz, with James Ford and Remi Kabaka, and recorded entirely at Studio 13, London in February this year – set for release on 29th June (Parlophone).

Fresh off The Now Now came the release of the sublime, sun-drenched video for first track ‘Humility’, directed by Jamie Hewlett and starring a roller-skating 2D plus a busking Jack Black, generating huge excitement with fans around the world to become #1 Global Trending Video on YouTube.

And over the weekend, Gorillaz lynchpin Murdoc Niccals – currently residing at Her Majesty’s Pleasure in London’s Wormwood Scrubs – launched an ingenious plan to enlist loyal fans behind the #freemurdoc campaign to assist his efforts in gathering information behind his false imprisonment for smuggling… With the help of a multi-platform chatbot, concerned fans around the world can converse with Murdoc – via voice or text – to hear from the man himself on what exactly they can do to help him break out of prison to restore his rightful place in the band, alongside 2D, Noodle and Russel.

And now the band have dropped a new album track, titled ‘Sorcererz’ with an additional new track to come every week ahead of the album release. Listen to ‘Sorcererz’ here
