As pioneers of the virtual band format with a truly singular presence, Gorillaz have crafted this track with IDLES frontman Joe Talbot, delivering a strikingly hard-edged sound that fuses dub and post-punk.

Its structure intertwines the weightless ambience of the Indian bansuri bamboo flute with Talbot’s razor-sharp spoken word, foregrounding contemporary anxieties through themes of doubt and interrogation.

A lead single from the forthcoming album The Mountain, slated for release in March 2026, the piece emerged from multi-location sessions in London, Devon, and Mumbai—resulting in a song that sounds an alarm to everyone navigating an era where truth and fiction are inextricably entwined.

Gorillaz, the world-renowned virtual band created by Londoners Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.

Released in January 2026, this work is a pivotal number that dramatically heightens anticipation for the forthcoming album “The Mountain.” The transition from the first half—featuring the unfiltered voice of Tony Allen, who passed away in 2020—to a psychedelic dance-floor back half with Bizarrap and Kara Jackson is nothing short of breathtaking.

Its grand sonic universe, which also ties in with the immersive Los Angeles exhibition “HOUSE OF KONG,” is perfect for those who want to sink into deep, solitary late-night contemplation or embark on a genre-crossing musical journey.

As pioneers of the virtual band format, Gorillaz have been reshaping the music scene with innovation for over two decades.

Created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, they are known for their experimental approach that freely blends hip-hop, electronica, and world music.

Released in October 2025, this track is the second single from the album The Mountain, slated for release in March 2026.

Featuring Argentina’s new-generation rapper Trueno and previously unreleased vocals by the late Proof, the song unfolds over more than seven minutes in an epic structure.

Its sound—where the Indian traditional instruments sarod and bansuri intersect with choral arrangements and electronic beats—is truly a “musical meditation suffused with light.” Interweaving Spanish and English rap with folk-inspired elements, the piece offers a spiritual journey that transcends cultures and generations.

It’s a track of overwhelming scale that distills Gorillaz’s cross-genre ambitions into a single, audacious statement.
