Albarn dominated the post-listen Q&A session, fielding most of the questions. He referred to Cracker Island as the multi-platinum group’s “L.A. album,” stating that until this album, “I’ve been very resistant to the considerable charms of L.A.” About working with Kurstin, Albarn said it was “A lot of fun.
