Gorillaz unveil ‘The Mountain,’ their most complete album to date: Listen 

Blessing us all with a body of work like no other, iconic virtual band Gorillaz unveil ‘The Mountain’ on their new imprint, KONG.

Arguably their most complete album to date, English virtual band Gorillaz have released a body of work that comes together in the most distinct and cohesive of ways. Featuring 15 tracks, ‘The Mountain’ fuses hip-hop, pop, and experimental sounds in the most immersive of manners, resulting in a description that correlates to a meditation on life’s journey and the thrill that comes with existing in this universe and beyond. 

Founded by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett in 1998, Gorillaz primarily consists of four fictional characters, with both music and art intertwining in the most effortless of manners. Experimenting through life, ‘The Mountain’ now arrives as the band’s ninth studio album, whilst its sad tone has been shaped by the fact that both Albarn and Hewlett have sadly lost their fathers. With themes of death, spirituality, and loss roaming throughout, this truly is a body of work that captures the raw essence of life and the ultimate meaning behind it.

Featuring some truly awe-inspiring and diverse collaborators, ‘The Mountain’ stands tall among the band’s greatest of LPs, with each featured act complementing their selected tracks, as opposed to overpowering the overall essence of this scintillating album. Their most complete body of work by all means, you can check out ‘The Mountain’ in all its glory below, with streaming also available via all major platforms here. Enjoy!
