Damon Albarn and his animated pals have a new Gorillaz album — Cracker Island — coming out in February via Parlophone / Virgin / Warner, and they've just shared the fourth preview with new single "Skinny Ape."
In addition to their latest track, the group have promised to "revolutionize the very concept of musical performance" with a pair of "first-of-their-kind immersive experiences" in Times Square and Piccadilly Circus on December 17 and December 18, respectively. An event website further mentions the Gorillaz Presents... app, which will be available for download on Monday (December 12), though it remains unclear if the technology will allow for global event participation.
"To all our followers, get ready for the biggest Times Square takeover since that other gorilla smashed the place up," Murdoc said in a statement. "Bigger in fact cos there's four of us. Thanks to the techies at Google, we've created the music video event of the century, so don your pink robes and come see Gorillaz like you've never seen us before. The future is nigh!"
While we wait to hear more about the AR Gorillaz universe, listen to "Skinny Ape" below.
