Demon Days

Gorillaz' 2005 sophomore album assembles hip-hop royalty across trip hop and downtempo frameworks — MF Doom, De La Soul, and Roots Manuva anchor tracks that blur pop rap with intricate production. Released on Virgin, Demon Days deepens the band’s cartoon-fronted aesthetic while trading the debut’s garage rawness for lush, sample-heavy arrangements that feel simultaneously claustrophobic and expansive.
