About the album.

Cracker Island is the eighth studio album from Gorillaz, an alternative pop record built on synths and funk, released on Parlophone and Warner on 24 February 2023.

Damon Albarn has described it as a loose concept album inspired by modern conspiracy theories and online echo chambers. Most of it was recorded in Los Angeles in 2021, with Greg Kurstin as main producer alongside Remi Kabaka Jr., and Kevin Parker and Tainy producing their own collaborations.

The guest list runs wide: Thundercat on the title track, Stevie Nicks on ‘Oil’, Adeleye Omotayo on ‘Silent Running’, Tame Impala and Bootie Brown on ‘New Gold’, Bad Bunny on ‘Tormenta’ and Beck on the closing ‘Possession Island’. The album debuted at number one in the UK, the band’s first chart-topping album there since Demon Days in 2005, and reached number three in the US.

This standard edition presents the ten tracks on a single LP with a printed inner sleeve and a double-sided fold-out poster.

Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett created Gorillaz in the late 1990s, and Cracker Island keeps the virtual band’s long habit of pulling in collaborators from every corner of music. It sits in a line that runs from the 2001 debut Gorillaz through Demon Days and Plastic Beach, and was followed in 2026 by The Mountain.
