Hello everyone!
Gorillaz just released their ninth studio album titled The Mountain! I cannot recommend it enough. I truly do think they have reached a new height not just as a band but as artists too.
If you've never listened to Gorillaz before, this is the perfect time and place to get into the band. The Mountain, with its 15 songs spanning a variety of genres and artists are sure to leave an impression on the listener. The album touches on themes such as death, the afterlife, rebirth and reinvention, far from being a somber and funereal collection, for it's filled top to bottom with dizzying, hypnotic, kaledoiscopic instrumentals, lyrics, and harmonies, transforming it into a bold and emotional piece of art.
Both a meditation on life and an exploration on grief, The Mountain to me signifies a landmark for the band and has become one of my instant favourites in their discography. If you haven't checked it out, i do recommend it! Best experienced when heard in order, of course. If you're looking for more Gorillaz goodness, check out their page in Kong Studios. Its their own interactive little world with everything you could possibly want from the band: interviews, albums, videos, you name it, it's there!
Till next time!
