Atlanta (Gnarls Barkley album)

Atlanta is the third and final studio album by the American music duo Gnarls Barkley, released on March 6, 2026, by 10K Projects and Atlantic Records.

Background

In 2008, Gnarls Barkley released their second studio album The Odd Couple, which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200. The duo went on hiatus for 18 years, until February 26, 2026, when they announced a third and final album. The same day as the announcement, the duo released one of the songs as a single, the song being "Pictures". The album was released on March 6, 2026.

Release and promotion

Atlanta was first teased back in 2013, with Green sporadically promising a third Gnarls Barkley album for the ensuing decade-plus. Atlanta was released on March 3, 2026, and has been billed as the duo's final album. The album has 13 tracks, including the single "Pictures".

Green stated of the song:<blockquote>"Pictures" is like going back to square one, It's a full circle moment. The spirit of Gnarls Barkley is always self-discovery. The sweet, the sad, and the strange. The universe, the adventure inside of yourself [...] The song came from a childhood experience. I had a middle school principal who, every Friday would tell me to go when I would get to school. Without fail. I was in 8th grade and I would leave school and ride the train alone from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The hook of the song is literally about being on the train. When you are in transit it's like a motion picture passing you by… staring out the window of the MARTA train.</blockquote>
