Five years after their last full-length studio album Plastic Beach, Gorillaz have announced they will soon be recording their long-awaited new album. The English virtual band’s Damon Albarn confirmed to ABC News that they’ll begin the recording process for the new record starting in September. To celebrate their return, Albarn and his collaborator Jamie Hewlett have recently been posting artwork images on Instagram of the band’s cartoon alter-egos.
