Trending on YouTube and earning over 6.5 million views since its release, Gorillaz’s ‘Cracker Island’ video has been making its impact across the web. It’s Nice That reported on the launch of the latest music video from the world’s biggest animated band.

This theme surrounds the wider release of the album, echoed in some cryptic online easter egg from Gorillaz.”
