Gorillaz Let Slip About Their New Album

Gorillaz have announced that their new album will be called ‘Demon Days’.

The hotly-anticipated follow up to the band’s 2001 eponymous debut was recorded at the group’s very own Kong Studios in Essex.

Russell Hobbs, the drummer with the two-dimensional outfit, told NME.com: “We've noticed that some people have picked up on 'Reject False Icons' as being the new Gorillaz album title. This was actually more like the motto we used while we were working on the tracks to keep us fresh.”

He added: “The album title now is 'Demon Days'. We've pretty well finished. Noodle and Dangermouse (of the band) are just trimming the last bits of the back and then this cut should be razor sharp. I guess we're looking at a May date for this thing to drop.”

The groups guitarist Noodle got very deep when describing the meaning of the album title. She told the site: “Its’ interpretation is completed by the instinct of the listener. In one sense the Demon is a disease and the disease is an absence of thought, a state where people make action without consideration. This is the invisible evil, with a million eyes. This is the return of the ogre, the rise of the beats. Its time is now.”

She went on to explain: “The moment we live in has agitated this slumbering giant, the dormant illness. These are the Demon Days, and the land it stalks is the on cusp of a thick fog. In another sense it is time to become the Demon. A time for an action, made with less contemplation, but from a disciplined and considered instinct. Strike with perfection and effect…These are Demon days we exist in. We strike to capture the moment. And hope to contain it, in a balance.”

The album is expected this spring.
