Not so very feel good inc: Damon Albarn left a master copy of the new Gorillaz album in the back of a taxi

Damon Albarn and co. are on melancholy hill after the Gorillaz frontman left his laptop with a master copy of the group’s new album in the back of a taxi.

Having confirmed plans for a new record in 2018, even going so far as to reveal he had 40-50 songs ready to release after Humanz, The Mirror‘s reporting that his laptop turned up in the back of a taxi after Albarn had an evening out of drinking.

“It was a disaster,” a source told The Mirror. 

“Damon oversees everything and, with Gorillaz, it’s not just audio – it’s the expensive visuals as well. The laptop’s contents are priceless. But after a night at Groucho, Damon accidentally left it in a cab and caused a huge panic.”

The source also claims that the album is strongly inspired by Albarn’s strong anti-Brexit views and that there are plans to release it as early as next month.

Lucky for Albarn, hopes for a better tomorrow come today. The album has been returned by the taxi driver and a crisis has been averted, so long as nobody ripped it along the way. Regardless, new Gorillaz seems imminent.
