Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett have been working on new Gorillaz material for awhile now, and a few months ago we got word that the as-yet-untitled LP is due in 2017. Today, the band shared new artwork via their social media accounts for a short story titled “The Book Of Noodle.” The tale begins with a girl named Noodle, who drifted away from Plastic Beach (the setting of Gorillaz’s 2010 release) to safety before finding herself in danger yet again. Check out the full multimedia story — which includes a humorous reference to Arcade Fire — below.
