Showing people that bass players are not useless. Thank you on behalf of all bass players

[KwaanAnamnesor]

I love how gorillaz songs just have so fitting names. For example 5/4 is just... well a song that has a 5/4 melody over a 4/4 beat. And this is called Double bass, and well it just happens to feature 2 bass players.. :D

Play this driving on the highway late at night. Perfect.

All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so

[FizzyGurt]

sounds like an adult swim commercial break

[jackjack]

Murdoc: Do they know I play bass?
2-D: yeah i th-
Murdoc: We need a new song right now.

[Oberon]

HOW ARE THEY SO GOOD? 19 years later and this is still fresh.

[-AAA-]

This feels like an underground theme to some video game.

[bozobones]

People give me an odd look when I tell them this is my favourite Gorillaz song.. Or just my favourite song in general.. Eh whatever I like it

[greenjacketman]

Fun fact: In Gorillaz canon it was actually Damon saying the sentence in the middle of the song, not 2D or anyone else.

[NostalgiaMan]

I used to listen to this all the time back in the day. Made me feel like nostalgia nintendo

"All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so..."

[stardaboi]

this song is way too underrated, its definitely one of their best

[glutenkillz]

Fun fact:

this song was recorded from 2D’s brain with a tiny microphone russel got from Tandy (an electrical store). As it was on the side of 2D’s head, recording, Murdoc told 2D to :
“Imagine 1950s-based rockabilly Brian Setzer from The Stray Cats knocking back a load of cough syrup, then going to a fairground with a couple of mates. Halfway through, Brian’s going to start feeling a bit sick because he’s now drunk some Jäegermeister, and the gooey brown liquid’s making him see things that weren’t there. He’s trapped in a mad world of fairgrounds, visuals, and bubbles.”
Along with that, 2D imagined the sounds from the Atari game, Pong.

This was taken from the book called “The Rise Of The Ogre” and is on the “Double Bass” chapter.

“ I sold my soul for bass skills, I’m gonna use em “
-Murdoc Niccals

[sonicsix]

this is a good song to ponder your existence to

[rroketa]

just an excuse for murdoc to show off his duble bass playing skills!

[MrToddino]

The sound at 0:42 makes the track sound like it could be in a yoshi's island game

[butterbee]

2D: What if elevator music had crippling anxiety?

Rest of the band: what

2D: ehhh just listen to this

[spidervine]

Ace and Murdoc's mutual mating signal
