The Mountain (title written in Devanagari as पर्वत, parvat, "mountain" in several Indian languages) is the ninth studio album by British virtual band Gorillaz, released on 27 February 2026 through their own label, Kong, with distribution by Sony Music subsidiary the Orchard. It is the first Gorillaz album released without the participation of Parlophone or Warner Records.
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 death of their fathers during its production. It continues the band’s tradition of featuring collaborations with a wide ranging assortment of musicians, including Asha Bhosle, Black Thought, Idles, Johnny Marr, Anoushka Shankar, Sparks, Omar Souleyman, Trueno and Yasiin Bey, as well as posthumous appearances from previous Gorillaz collaborators Dennis Hopper, Bobby Womack, David Jolicoeur of De La Soul, Tony Allen, Proof and Mark E. Smith, in keeping with the album's themes. The album was produced by Damon Albarn, Remi Kabaka Jr., James Ford and Samuel Eggleston.
