Gorillaz recruit Joe Talbot to muse on doubt, dread, and dodgy landlords

Interpolating ambient dread with a taste for lyrical interrogation, Gorillaz unveil “The God Of Lying,” featuring IDLES’ Joe Talbot, a track that ambles through doubt, housing, headlines, and personal crises. Recorded across London, Devon and Mumbai with added bansuri and layered percussion, the song emerges as another chapter in their March 2026 album, “The Mountain.”

Albarn and Jamie Hewlett channel recent grief, Indian rituals, and sonic experimentation, eschewing animated videos in favor of a singular visual, and teasing collaborations from Sparks to Yasiin Bey.

Gorillaz piles on the features in globally-sourced album ‘The Mountain’

Gorillaz returns with ‘The Mountain,’ a globally curated studio album that assembles a mosaic of voices, from UK post-punk group Idles to Argentine rapper Trueno and producer Bizarrap.

Sparks, Jalen Ngonda, and Kara Jackson expand the sonic palette, layering textures that shift between cinematic melancholy and off-kilter exuberance. The band's penchant for cross-cultural entanglements continues without apology or fanfare.

Gorillaz toast 25 years with London gigs, secret set maybe less secret soon

Gorillaz mark their 25th anniversary with four London shows, revisiting albums from their debut through ‘Plastic Beach’ before closing with a “mystery” set that Damon Albarn hints may feature new material, as Jamie Hewlett jokingly signals potential danger with a throat-cutting gesture.

In parallel, the band unveils the ‘House of Kong’ exhibit and teases a 2025 release that spans four languages, while Albarn notes he’s “been incredibly busy making music.”
