The British band Gorillaz celebrated their 20th anniversary this year by dropping their newest album “The Now Now.”

Gorillaz went on their same-titled tour from June 1 to Oct. 24 in celebration of the two decade anniversary. The band finished their tour with a bang by headlining their own “Demon Dayz” festival in Los Angeles on Oct. 20.

Gorillaz is a unique band playing from many different genres of music including rock, techno and R&B. The band is made up of lead singer Damon Albarn and animator Jamie Hewlett. This band utilizes an animator because the actual performers of the band are five animated characters.

These fictional characters are 2-D, Russel, Noodle, Murdoc, as well as temporary guest player Ace who debuted on this album. 2-D, the lead vocalist, is voiced by Albarn himself. Murdoc and Russel have also had consistent voice actors over the past twenty years with Phil Cornwell and Remi Kabaka Jr. voicing them, respectively, while Noodle has been voiced by a variety of actors over the years.

The band has a complicated fictional narrative that Albarn and Hewlett have written to make it seem like these characters have lives outside of their music careers, just like any other musician.

Gorillaz is known for being unpredictable. From taking a nearly decade long hiatuses between albums, to dropping entire EP’s as a surprise, this band is sure to keep its fans on their toes.

“The Now Now” consists of 11 songs theorized to express the emotions of 2-D as he reacts to the band’s newest addition, Ace, life on tour and the temporary disappearance of long-term member Murdoc. 2-D tried to clarify on what the true meaning of “The Now Now” is in his own words.

“’The Now Now’ isn’t about looking behind, because behind is the past,” 2-D said in an interview with Uproxx. “And this is the Now Now, not the Then Then.”

Gorillaz ended their tour by holding their “Demon Dayz.” The festival had many guests’ bands and DJ’s perform alongside Gorillaz such as The Internet and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.

The current phase of Gorillaz has not ended simply because their 2018 tour is over. In the band’s narrative, Murdoc is meant to be making a return to Gorillaz in the near future as he has recently broken out of prison.

What does this mean for Gorillaz? Who knows. With this band’s unpredictability, we may get another surprise album; or we may have to wait another seven years before any new content. Only time will tell.
