Asha Puthli, Anoushka Shankar, Ajay Prasanna and more feature on the album partly recorded in Mumbai and Delhi and the enigmatic desertscapes of Rajasthan and in Varanasi, the holy city on the banks of the Ganges. Longtime Damon Albarn collaborators Bobby Womack and Tony Allen make posthumous appearances and among the slew of current celebrity musicians that pepper the starry guestlist is Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, The Smiths legend Johnny Marr and the irrepressible art rock duo Sparks. The collaboration with the latter, titled 'The Happy Dictator', is cosmic and joyous and too a reflection of Gorillaz' globetrotting adventures as it's inspired by a trip to one of the most secretive and tightly controlled countries on earth: Turkmenistan. Clearly still reeling from inspirational journeys, their lust for life is palpable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mountain is Gorillaz’ ninth studio album, a collection of 15 new tracks featuring a stellar list of artists and collaborators.

Produced by Gorillaz, James Ford, Samuel Egglenton, Remi Kabaka Jr. and Bizarrap (Orange County), The Mountain was recorded in London, Devon, Miami, Jaipur, Mumbai, New Delhi and Rishikesh; and features artists performing in five languages: Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish and Yoruba. The artwork for The Mountain sees Jamie Hewlett’s distinct, yet ever-evolving, style illustrate the world of Gorillaz with an ever more detailed and beautiful intricacy across a series of hand-drawn illustrations. Circumstances find Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs, 2D and Noodle in India, where our heroes are immersed in the rhythms of mystical music-making as they navigate the mountainous terrain of this thing called life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mountain (feat.
