Gorillaz - Demon Days [2 LP, Black Vinyl, Gatefold Jacket]

Damon Albarn's animated quartet returned in 2005 with Demon Days, a genre-crossing collaboration that paired the Blur frontman with producer Danger Mouse instead of Dan the Automator. This double vinyl edition presents the second Gorillaz studio album, which topped the UK Albums Chart and has sold over eight million copies worldwide. The virtual band's sophomore effort features an impressive roster of guest contributors including De La Soul, MF DOOM, Neneh Cherry, Bootie Brown of the Pharcyde, Shaun Ryder, Martina Topley-Bird, Roots Manuva, and actor Dennis Hopper, who delivers spoken-word narration on "Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head."

The album moves seamlessly between hip-hop, alternative rock, and electronic pop, anchored by standout tracks "Feel Good Inc.," "DARE," and "Dirty Harry," all released as singles. The Grammy-winning "Feel Good Inc." features De La Soul and topped the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for eight consecutive weeks, while "DARE" with Shaun Ryder became the band's first UK number one single. Darker and more cinematic than the debut, the album weaves themes of war, environmental collapse, and societal decay through tracks like the MF DOOM collaboration "November Has Come" and the haunting closer "Demon Days," which features the London Community Gospel Choir and Children's Choir of San Fernandez.

Pressed on two black vinyl LPs, this gatefold edition includes printed inner sleeves featuring Jamie Hewlett's distinctive artwork, with each band member illustrated on the inner sleeve sides. The package preserves the Beatles Let It Be-inspired cover art and includes individual illustrations for each song inside the gatefold. Made in the EU and mastered at Masterdisk NY, the pressing captures the album's dynamic range across its 15 tracks, maintaining the seamless transitions between songs like "Intro" into "Last Living Souls" and "Don't Get Lost in Heaven" into "Demon Days."
