Gorillaz release The Mountain, a star-studded Cracker Island follow-up largely recorded during the band’s India travels, pairing living guests (Sparks, Black Thought, Bizarrap, Anoushka Shankar, Johnny Marr, Yasiin Bey, Omar Souleyman, Gruff Rhys, Trueno, and more) with posthumous contributions from Dennis Hopper, Bobby Womack, Tony Allen, Mark E. Smith, and others; full credits and a stream of the album are available.
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.
Gorillaz announced their new album 'The Mountain,' set for release on March 20, featuring 15 tracks with collaborations from artists like Sparks, Johnny Marr, and Black Thought, recorded across multiple global locations, and including contributions from deceased artists. They will also tour the UK and Ireland following the album release.
