Overview
Gorillaz’s ‘Demon Days’ is a genre-blurring masterpiece that blends Alternative Rock, Hip-Hop, and Electronic music with dark cinematic undertones - it’s completely original. The album crafts a dystopian narrative, driven by haunting melodies, funky basslines, and a unique vocal performance, all set within an eclectic soundscape - not to mention the bounty of featured artists that truly complement each track. Despite its darker, more somber tone, the album manages to infuse moments of playful energy (something Gorillaz are leaders in achieving), striking a perfect balance between melancholy and fun. With its innovative production and captivating world-building, ‘Demon Days’ is a landmark album that will continue to influence and inspire.
Recommended for melancholy folk who are happy to dance and cry all at the same time.

Here, we take a deeper look at the profiles of each of the Gorillaz’s characters, with each one looking as sinister as the last. This simplistic cover invites listeners to dive in, wondering what each character’s contribution could be. I think the overall colour scheme and feel of the cover completely reflects the mood of the album.
