Nearly a year has passed since the hype cycle began for the next Gorillaz album.
Humanz, the band’s third full-length album, will be available on April 28th. Along with that info, the band has posted a new video and a collection of portraits of its fictional members.
The idea of Gorillaz feels better suited for 2017, when fictional characters having their own social media accounts is common practice.
The band isn’t limited to human bodies, so its depiction is more fluid.
With the album releasing next month, we can expect many more videos in the coming weeks.
What I’m most curious about is how the band takes advantage of the rest of technology.
In 2017, Gorillaz can act on an idea that wasn’t quite possible in 1998.
