Gorillaz — the irreverent, genre-agnostic cartoon band spearheaded by Damon Albarn — has announced a new album, Humanz, out April 28 on Parlophone. The announcement comes with three new songs ("We've Got The Power," "Andromeda" and "Ascension") and a Jamie Hewlett-directed short film for the Popcaan feature "Saturnz Barz."
In the video, Russel Hobbs, Murdoc Niccals, 2D and Noodle on a terrifying and weird tour of a haunted house. A slice of pizza sings, Murdoc goes on a naked space quest and Noodle battles a space snake. (A 360-degree video is also available on YouTube.)
The band also announce the Humanz tracklist, and it's predictably overflowing with big-name guest stars.
