Tomorrow 25 years

From beginning to end, the making of the Gorillaz debut would be a mad dash of creativity, during which time Gorillaz began to assemble the enormous family of cohorts that make up their numbers today.

The evolution of the album, born from Murdoc’s shoddy demos, gathered pace at Kong. The studio was alive with the continual sound of banging, clattering, squelching, pounding, zapping, buzzing, siphoning and caterwauling… unfeasible sonics that no sane individual would create.

Night after night was spent lobbing machinery around, chucking ostrich eggs at sheets of metal and leaping into buckets; no experiment into sound was deemed too far-fetched. Soon the framework of a very unusual album took shape.
