The Gorillaz will be releasing a brand new studio album titled, The Mountain, on March 20, 2026 and the album is the first on the band’s own new label KONG.  The Mountain is an expansive sonic landscape of instruments and sounds, richly layered with voices, melodies and addictive beats spanning a collection of 15 songs that embody the very essence of Gorillaz’ collaborative ethos.

Produced by Gorillaz, James Ford, Samuel Egglenton and Remi Kabaka Jr., plus Bizarrap (Orange County), The Mountain was recorded at Studio 13 in London and Devon, various locations in India including Mumbai, New Delhi, Rajasthan and Varanasi, as well as Ashgabat, Damascus, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. The album features artists performing in five languages: Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish and Yoruba.

Also, the band has released their new single, “The Happy Dictator” with Sparks and as a whole, the tune is wonderful by how the instrumentation shakes the background with a catchy 80s pop-rock vibe, while the vocal performances sizzles the air with amazing harmonies and melodies.
