In a recent
interview with NME,Gorillaz guitarist Noodle said of the album'sDemon
Days title: "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. 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."
