Demon Days

Description

Demon Days is the second studio album by Gorillaz. The
album features the hit singles “Feel Good Inc.”, “DARE”, “Kids With Guns”, and
“El Mañana”, with contributions from De La Soul, Neneh Cherry, Martina Topley-
Bird, Roots Manuva, MF DOOM, Ike Turner, Bootie Brown of the Pharcyde, Shaun
Ryder, Dennis Hopper, the London Community Gospel Choir, and the Children’s
Choir of San Fernandez. A side project doesn’t usually hit gold,
especially when said project is a quirky virtual collective fronted by cartoon
characters. But the first, self-titled album by Gorillaz–the brainchild of
illustrator Jamie Hewlett and Blur frontman Damon Albarn–actually hit
platinum and turned into a surprise worldwide hit. Naturally expectations were
a lot higher for Gorillaz’s sophomore effort, but Demon Days actually is even
better than its predecessor. With producer Dan “the Automator” Nakamura gone,
Albarn, a.k.a. 2D, has paired up with DJ Danger Mouse (responsible for the
infamous Grey Album that illegally mixed the Beatles and Jay-Z) to steer the
musical ship, while a whole new slew of guests enlivens the proceedings.
Albarn has described Demon Days as being darker, but there’s a real kooky
dance-party vibe coursing through the CD. Despite its somber tone, “Kids with
Guns” is lifted by a killer bass line, for instance, while the catchy first
single, “Feel Good Inc,” is augmented by an appealing contribution from De La
Soul. Other noteworthy guests include Roots Manuva and Tricky collaborator
Martina Topley-Bird on the dubby “All Alone” and Happy Mondays singer Shaun
Ryder on the bouncy “DARE.” And yet it’s a 69-year-old actor who gets to
deliver the most baffling contribution–just listen to Dennis Hopper’s spoken-
word narrative on “Fire Coming Out of the Monkey’s Head.” Elisabeth
