Fan page Gorillaz North America says, according to comic artist Jamie Hewlett, the record will be released at some point in 2017.

The caption for the above picture reads: "WE GOT JAMIE NEWS! This here is HIM and our friend Linda. JAMIE says new GORILLAZ is special, really fuckin special. Can't be rushed. 2017, yo. Fuck. So, guys, that Gorilla Fund, we got time. Go shop, take vacation, that shit aint happening this year. BUT its gonna be all that and more. And....Jamie follows us. So....you got something to say to him and don't wanna get yelled at on his IG by his very serious followers, say it here! HE IS HERE. Watching, reading and digging it. He loves this account and appreciates our repping."

Following the release of their 2011 fourth studio album 'The Fall', Gorillaz have been relative quiet, with Damon Albarn instead working on projects with Blur including their 2015 LP 'The Magic Whip'.
