⭐ Product Highlights

• Picture Bio Vinyl 12" discs — a visually spectacular format that displays Jamie Hewlett's intricate hand-drawn illustrations of Murdoc, Noodle, Russel, and 2D directly on the vinyl surface; the clear sleeve allows both sides of each disc to be displayed simultaneously as a visual artifact as much as a listening experience
• Original artwork by Jamie Hewlett — the co-creator of Gorillaz and one of the most celebrated visual artists in contemporary music; his illustrations for The Mountain have been described as "beautifully intricate, hand-drawn" portraits of the four animated band members, making the picture disc the definitive visual format for this album
• Gorillaz' ninth studio album and most globally collaborative record — featuring an extraordinary cast including Anoushka Shankar (sitar), IDLES, Black Thought, Johnny Marr, Yasiin Bey, Sparks, Tony Allen, Bizarrap, Kara Jackson, Omar Souleyman, Gruff Rhys, Paul Simonon, Asha Bhosle, Mark E. Smith, Los Lobos, and Beck; a record whose collaborator list spans continents, genres, and decades of music history
• Produced by James Ford, Remi Kabaka Jr., and Samuel Egglenton — with Bizarrap producing "Orange County"; James Ford's recent production credits include Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, and Nick Cave; his partnership with Gorillaz on The Mountain represents one of the most creatively ambitious productions of his career
• Discogs confirmed exceptional sound quality for a picture disc — "That's how it's done! Picture disc and yet sounds perfect with not much inherent surface noise" — directly addressing the most common collector concern about picture disc audio fidelity
• 12" insert and sticker sheet included — the picture disc edition comes with additional physical content that makes it the most complete single-format presentation of The Mountain outside the full box set; the sticker sheet adds a further Hewlett-designed collectible to an already premium package
• The Mountain draws deep on South Asian musical heritage — Anoushka Shankar (sitar), Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash (sarod), and Ajay Prasanna (bansuri) appear across multiple tracks; combined with contributions from Syrian electronic artist Omar Souleyman and legendary Bollywood singer Asha Bhosle, the album's sonic world is genuinely unlike anything in the Gorillaz catalog
• The album title presented in Hindi (पर्वत) — a deliberate choice that reflects the album's deep engagement with South Asian music and culture, making The Mountain one of the most culturally intentional major label album releases of 2026
