The Mountain is the ninth studio album by British virtual band Gorillaz. It was released on 27 February 2026 through their own label, Kong, with distribution by Sony Music subsidiary the Orchard. It is the first Gorillaz album to be released without the participation of Parlophone. Recorded across India, London and other locations, the album draws heavily from Indian classical instrumentation, alongside the group's eclectic electronic and pop influences, and features performances in multiple languages, including English, Arabic, Hindi, Spanish, and Yoruba. Thematically, the album focuses on death, grief, and the afterlife, inspired by Gorillaz creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett both experiencing the deaths of close family members during its production. It continues the band's tradition of featuring collaborations with a wide ranging assortment of musicians, including Asha Bhosle, Asha Puthli, Black Thought, Idles, Johnny Marr, Anoushka Shankar, Sparks, Omar Souleyman, Trueno, and Yasiin Bey; as well as posthumous appearances from previous Gorillaz collaborators such as Dennis Hopper, Bobby Womack, David Jolicoeur, Tony Allen, Proof, and Mark E.
