The Now Now is the quick followup to last year's Humanz from the virtual (i.e. cartoon) band Gorillaz. As I mentioned a little over a year ago, when Humanz was a Studio One Featured Release, Gorillaz is the most successful cartoon band ever. Why does that matter? It adds a unique dimension to the band's music because of the space between Damon Albarn and the other band members, and the characters created by Jamie Hewlett. After the apocalyptic Humanz, the darkness has lifted for The Now Now- as you can see in the video for "Humility."
