Gorillaz’ four cartoon characters side by side in a desolate landscape
Gorillaz have shared new music from their forthcoming album, ‘The Mountain’.
The fifth and sixth tracks to be unveiled from the new LP are ‘Orange County’ –featuring Bizarrap, Kara Jackson and Anoushka Shankar – and ‘The Hardest Thing’, which features Tony Allen. The two songs appear as companion cuts on ‘The Mountain’ and have therefore been released together. They have also been made available now as a limited edition double-A-side 7″ vinyl.
‘Orange County’ and ‘The Hardest Thing’ arrive off the back of previously shared single ‘Damascus’, with Omar Souleyman and Yasiin Bey, ‘The God Of Lying’, with IDLES, ‘The Happy Dictator’, featuring Sparks, and ‘The Manifesto’, featuring Trueno and late D12 member Proof.
‘The Mountain’ is set for release on 20th March, and was primarily recorded in London and Devon, as well as in various locations in India such as Mumbai, New Delhi, Rajasthan and Varanasi/ Further work was carried out on the record between Ashgabat, Damascus, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. The album also features artists performing in five languages: Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish and Yoruba.
