In an interview over the weekend, Damon Albarn has said it is “unlikely” that there will be any more new material from Gorillaz. He has not given a specific reason, but implied that disagreements between him and his Gorillaz collaborator, artist Jamie Hewlett, could be at the core.
Albarn hinted that he and Hewlett disagreed over the fact that Hewlett’s visuals weren’t as central to the band’s 2010 world tour as they had been previously. When asked whether he thought the band was over, he replied:
Jamie does, which is fair enough. I think we were at cross purposes somewhat on that last record, which is a shame. So until a time comes when that knot has been untied….It was one of those things. The music and the videos weren’t working as well together, but I felt we’d made a really good record, and I was into it. So we went and played it. Have we fallen out over that since then? Erm… well, that sounds very juvenile, doesn’t it? But being juvenile about it, it happens. It’s a shame.
