Cracker Island (feat. Thundercat)

Here, Gorillaz lead singer 2-D (aka Damon Albarn) recounts a cult that started on Cracker Island. The creators of the cult entice followers with promises of a perfect paradise, but it's nothing of the sort. After 2-D and others get lured in, they pay with their souls, only to find the promised utopian world doesn't exist. Said Albarn to BBC Radio's Jack Saunders, "I think the Cracker Island is a sort of the idea that people have kind of some mad ideas can all kind of live together happily in their own kind of echo chamber Cracker Island."

Thundercat joins Gorillaz on the high-energy track, adding his trademark bass guitar and answer vocals.

Albarn and Thundercat wrote "Cracker Island" with Greg Kurstin. "It started like most things do just on GarageBand," Albarn told Jack Saunders. "I went to LA and work with Greg Kurstin, and then Thundercat came for that amazing baseline on. I wanted someone to say in this falsetto answer phrase all the way through. I always had the idea and he came up."
