Gorillaz and Alan Moore Are Set To Collaborate

Did you ever wonder, "Hey, why don't Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz explore gnostic themes?" Definitely a potent question that I've never thought to ask, myself. Well, now they are more than likely to touch on gnostic ideas and explore some aspect of humanity that plagues us all now that Alan Moore is on board to help with Gorillaz' new opera project.

David Bazan Lays It All on the Table
