<em>NME<\/em>, which praised it for its ability to tackle heavy themes with a sense of refinement.<\/p>\n<p>The review described it as \u201can album that celebrates the love you leave behind, the

them releasing the stirring and spiritual new album \u2018The Mountain\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Taking place shortly after they played a handful of UK arena shows earlier this year, Albarn was joined by an impressive number of special guests on the night, including Johnny Marr, Little Simz, Shaun Ryder, The Clash\u2019s Paul Simonon and more.<\/p>\n<p>Now, after fans at the gig noticed a number of cameras in place and overhead drones during the show, Gorillaz have confirmed that they are working on a documentary about the landmark occasion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\"
