ABOUT

Gorillaz eighth studio album ‘Cracker Island’ comes exclusively pressed to zoetrope picture disc via Blood Records, hand-numbered to order.

An energetic, upbeat,  genre-expansive collection of 10 tracks the record features yet another stellar lineup of artist collaborators: Stevie Nicks, Adeleye Omotayo, Thundercat, Tame Impala, Bad Bunny and Bootie Brown and Beck and recorded in London and LA earlier this year, produced by eight-time Grammy Award-winning producer Greg Kurstin, Gorillaz and Remi Kabaka Jr.

Originally based at Kong Studios in West London, the group of musical misfits - Murdoc, Noodle, Russel and 2D - have relocated to Silverlake, California as they recruit new members to join ‘The Last Cult’, in search of the one truth to fix the world. Reports from the Golden State indicate that Murdoc is in love with the lady next door. Russel is glued to the TV. Noodle is compiling a handbook of wisdom and knowledge. And 2D is busy being 2D. 

Guitarist Noodle said of the band’s new record “Cracker Island is the sound of change and the chorus of the collective.”. Russel Hobbs added - “When the reckoning comes, gotta be ready to step through the gateway. Cracker Island’s got the entry codes…” 2D said -” The path to Cracker Island isn't easy to find ‘cos it's underwater.” And Murdoc Niccals announced - “The hallowed tones of Cracker Island will soundtrack our collective ascension into the new dimension! JOIN ME!”

** Images and videos are representative of the finished product. Zoetrope animations require specific viewing conditions, and the animated effects shown in videos may not be visible to the naked eye. Please refer to the viewing tips below for guidance.

——————————————————————-

How To View: To get the most out of your zoetrope and see the animated effects, try one of the methods below.

For the clearest results, use bright, even lighting and keep your camera steady above the record. If using strobe effects, please be mindful of anyone nearby who may be sensitive to flashing lights.

  • View or record the animation through your phone camera, with the frame rate set to 30 or 60 FPS.
  • Use a zoetrope or strobe-light app.
  • Use an adjustable LED strobe light to view the animation with the naked eye.

——————————————————————-

Please note: Due to the way picture discs (including zoetropes) are manufactured, they can produce slightly more surface noise during playback than traditional vinyl, particularly during quieter moments. This is a well-known characteristic of the format and isn't unique to our pressings.
