Just then, Murdoc arrives at the hospital in an occult robe and with a sinister smile. Russel suddenly snaps out of his mesmerized state with a pink tint in his eyes and moves towards the others in the lobby. Meanwhile, a seemingly catatonic Russel stares at a TV, which is shown with a breaking news report regarding a "major incident below the Hollywood Sign," stating that the police "intervene to stop occult ceremony". As it moves, an unknown slimy liquid can be seen left in its tracks. The sheet hovers as it slowly moves towards the main lobby. In the middle of a dimly lit hallway, a white bed sheet with two eyeholes inexplicably rises. 2-D and Noodle are being questioned by the police while 2-D is seemingly hallucinating visions of Thundercat. The animated music video, directed by Jamie Hewlett and Fx Goby, features the fictional bandmembers 2-D, Russel, and Noodle at the Los Angeles County Hospital on a rainy night. "Cracker Island" was one of the five new songs that were performed live during their 2022 World Tour, before their official release, with the others songs being "Silent Running," " New Gold," "Skinny Ape," and "Possession Island". "Cracker Island" peaked at number two on the US Billboard alternative airplay chart, making it their highest charting song since " Feel Good Inc."ĭamon Albarn stated that the song is about the idea that "people have kind of some mad ideas can all kind of live together happily in their own kind of echo chamber". The track was released on 22 June 2022 as the first single from their eighth studio album, Cracker Island. " Cracker Island" is a song by British virtual band Gorillaz, featuring American bassist, singer and songwriter Thundercat.
