Gosling’s SNL Five-Timer Dream Hits a Bump in Promo

Gorillaz Turn Grief Into a Global Spectacle on The Mountain

Pitchfork's review frames Gorillaz's ninth album The Mountain as an ambitious, grief-soaked, India-inspired concept record that threads unreleased material with a star-studded roster of living and deceased collaborators, including Proof, Black Thought, Asha Puthli, and Omar Souleyman. While the global, cross-cultural scope yields bold moments of memory and fusion, some tracks lean into bombast and treat guests as ornaments. Overall, it's a bold meditation on memory and loss from Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.
