Gorillaz Turn Grief Into a Global Spectacle on The Mountain

Pitchfork's review frames Gorillaz's ninth album The Mountain as an ambitious, grief-soaked, India-inspired concept record that threads unreleased material with a star-studded roster of living and deceased collaborators, including Proof, Black Thought, Asha Puthli, and Omar Souleyman. While the global, cross-cultural scope yields bold moments of memory and fusion, some tracks lean into bombast and treat guests as ornaments. Overall, it's a bold meditation on memory and loss from Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.

Two Shell Remix EP Dials Up Boldness but Stumbles on Some Tracks

Pitchfork’s review of Two Shell’s bonus remix album revisiting their 2024 self-titled LP is mixed: several remixes offer energy and texture (notably Ship Sket, SWARMM, Facta, Tamaranamen), and the updated version of “Everybody Worldwide” stands out; however, many new tracks feel inconsistent when heard track-by-track, with some relying on lightweight or AI-like hooks and older material like “levitate” from 2023. The opener “<initialize> ᵛⁱⁿʸˡ” hints at the duo’s playful humanity amid the uneven batch.

Ed Sheeran's Consistent Sound and New Collaborations

Ed Sheeran's eighth album 'Play' aims to be colorful and nostalgic, blending South and West Asian rhythms with his signature singer-songwriter style. While it features some experimental cross-cultural tracks, the album largely revisits familiar, radio-friendly ballads, indicating a lack of significant musical evolution despite Sheeran's ambitions to move beyond his past work.
