Five years on from the release of Demon Days, Murdoc and co. return with Plastic Beach. The band have taken up residence, recording on a secret floating island deep in the South Pacific, a Plastic Beach HQ, made up of the detritus, debris and washed up remnants of humanity. This Plastic Beach is the furthest point from any landmass on Earth; the most deserted spot on the planet. Plastic Beach". Acclaimed Music. Archived from the original on 16 April 2015 .

ARIA Top 50 Hip Hop/R&B Albums for 2010". Australian Recording Industry Association . Retrieved 12 June 2021.The creators of Gorillaz, musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, began working on a new Gorillaz project in November 2007 called Carousel, [2] which evolved into Plastic Beach, the group's third studio album. [3] In the November 2007 issue of Q, when asked what his top priority for 2008 was, Damon Albarn replied "Well, I'm doing the next Gorillaz thing, but it won't be called Gorillaz." [2] In the February 2008 Gorillaz-Unofficial interview, Hewlett elaborated on this, saying "I think the idea behind it is that it's like how the Who presented their movies– Tommy and Quadrophenia and so on. Those were presented as by 'the Who' even though none of the members of the band were in the movies. I don't think anyone from the Who was in Quadrophenia. But it's the same people working on it, that's the principle." [4] In a July 2008 interview with The Observer he also said, "Gorillaz now to us is not like four animated characters any more– it's more like an organisation of people doing new projects ... That's my ideal model– Gorillaz is a group of people who gave you this, and now want to give you new stuff." [5] Damon Albarn got the idea for Plastic Beach while on a beach next to his house: "I was just looking for all the plastic within the sand", he said. [3] On 17 September 2008, Albarn and Jamie Hewlett announced that they would be doing another Gorillaz album in an interview with CBC News. [6] Hewlett said that from their work on Monkey, "we just learned more about what we do, musically and artistically. That's a great place to come at when we come to another Gorillaz album. It doesn't have to be animation and music". [7] Hewlett also expressed annoyance at having to draw the band members again: "I'm so f---ing[ sic] bored of drawing those characters. But then we had a moment where we had a new angle on it... I'm gonna adapt them". [6] In a later interview Hewlett said: "they'll be the same characters, but a little bit older and told in a different way". [8]
