The Now Now is Gorillaz’s sixth studio album, recorded in a stripped-back configuration with Damon Albarn at the helm and Murdoc Niccals temporarily replaced by Ace from The Powerpuff Girls universe. Produced by James Ford and Remi Kabaka, the album features a more introspective and melodic tone, with fewer guest appearances than its predecessor Humanz.

Pressed on heavyweight black vinyl, this edition includes a custom inner sleeve and download code. The album features collaborations with George Benson, Snoop Dogg, and Jamie Principle, and was recorded across various hotel rooms and studios during the band’s 2017 tour.
