It's been a rough go for Noodle, the 13-year-old cartoon bassist of Gorillaz, over the past few years. She was lost and declared dead following a helicopter attack in the video for "El Manana," from 2005's Demon Days. Then she was replaced by a cyborg for Plastic Beach, but was found alive in the video for the album's title track.
As the band gears up for a new album coming out early 2017, they've decided to regale us with the tale of what happened to Noodle, via a multimedia story titled The Book of Noodle, which lives on the group's Instagram account. We won't ruin the fun and spoil too much of it here, but essentially, the story goes that Noodle was headed to Murdoc's Plastic Beach hideaway in the “Plastic Beach” video, and yada yada yada, some adventure followed, like Noodle's stint as a pearl diver's apprentice in Japan.
