The Gorillaz used this electronic and bass clarinet infused track as the introduction to their second album Demon Days. The track is very short, and portrays a very eerie quality that sets the listener up for an album full of subdued, dreary, hip hop and electronic beats. There are no other notable uses of clarinet throughout the album, but the ominous loop included in this first track greatly adds to it’s ghastly quality. It gives the song a since of waiting or suspension through frequent repetitions, and a clock-like, ticking quality.
