Gorillaz Reveal New Songs "The Hardest Thing" and "Orange County"

"Gorillaz have released two new songs, "The Hardest Thing" and "Orange County," from their upcoming album The Mountain. Stream both tracks below. "The Hardest Thing" features late drummer and composer Tony Allen. On the sparse track about grief and hope, a floating voice punctuates the floating production as if it's an introduction to another song. Pre-order The Mountain on Vinyl/CD That song is "Orange County," a companion track to "The Hardest Thing" with a vibrant feel in its earnest melody."

"It combines Gorillaz's signature energy with a relaxing vibe, thanks to the contributions of Bizarrap, Kara Jackson, and Anoushka Shanksar. In September, Gorillaz released The Mountain's lead single, "The Happy Dictator." They've since dropped "The Manifesto," the IDLES-assisted "The God of Lying," and "Damascus," featuring Yasiin Bey and Omar Souleyman. The album is set for release on February 27th, coinciding with a limited four-week run of their House of Kong exhibition in Los Angeles."
