While it got good critical write-ups, it didn’t entirely capture the public’s imagination. It didn’t help that its two biggest hits (‘Clint Eastwood’ and ‘19/2000’) had to be remixed by other artists to hit the charts. For all its undoubted creativity, the project’s self-titled 2001 debut ultimately felt a tad sterile, like a laboratory experiment with a USP attached. It’s strange to think an album by a fictional band could have such a sizeable impact, but the 2005 album Demon Days by the animated group Gorillaz, the brainchild of Blur singer Damon Albarn and illustrator Jamie Hewlett, helped to shape the direction of pop music today.
