26:42Now PlayingThe new Gorillaz album "The Mountain" is the most personal to date for band co-creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. The two sit down with Associated Press entertainment journalist Liam McEwan to discuss their creative process, the virtual band’s return and the role of collaboration in shaping the project.
As the album launches alongside an eight-minute music video/short film, "The Mountain, The Moon Cave and The Sad God," Albarn and Hewlett discuss the mythology of the Gorillaz animated universe — including characters 2-D, Murdoc, Russel, and Noodle — and how that lore has evolved over time.
