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

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

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

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

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

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

sounds like an adult swim commercial break

This feels like an underground theme to some video game.

Love that ruler on the desk sound

this is a good song to ponder your existence to

Lyrics- -- All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so --

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

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

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

anyone else find this relaxing?

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

driving down an old abandoned neighborhood is how i would describe this song. dilapidated, overgrown houses surround you, and you know it was once a populated neighborhood, but now it’s all gone.

" *...all of which make me anxious. Unbearably so, at times.* " Sounds like throughout the song he was just explaining his worries to the band, kinda like a wholesome therapy jam session!

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

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

So, I don't really know any of the backstory behind this song, but I like to it as a metaphor. Like Murdoc's over-bearing presence in the band, and his need for control. I find it funny how throughout the whole song the drums and guitar stay pretty consistent, while whenever the piano (the instrument 2D loves) starts to get funky, the bass gets super loud. Almost like Murdoc is trying to keep 2D under his thumb. The lyrics kinda fit with this too, how it says "All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so." which I think kinda fits, since Murdoc was a huge source of anxiety for 2D in the early days! But that's just my head-canon! love the song so much!! :D

this feels like childhood. idk why. it's like some sort of weird part of an old nicktoon where a character is just doing something and and music is playing over it. very relaxing.

Note that Damon Albarn is talking in the middle. That isn’t 2D, since 2D’s voice is really squeaky. That’s full blown Damon.

This was what made gorillaz awesome, the underground, the strange, weird and hidden. So original and careless...

Ace and Murdoc's mutual mating signal

2D: What if elevator music had crippling anxiety? Rest of the band: what 2D: ehhh just listen to this

It feels so good when you draw and listen to this can't for someone to come here in 10 years and listen to this and then see my comment I feel like gorillaz will be these eternal stars that are always no matter the years

This song is low key deep af

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

Dying to know how this track was conceived and executed...if only we had some footage of that process. This track is a bit unsettling, yet soo chill and detached and gritty, and all these little details make it even better. It's like entering someone's mind, heck I would love to travel inside Damon's mind...just brilliant.

Sounds like a 2000's British zombie film soundtrack

Who else imagines Murdoc & Ace having a bass duet together, just smiling and having fun while doing so?

I feel like I'm floating around when I'm listening to this song.

murdoc slays my existence

this song feels bad ass for some reason

Instrumental songs from each gorillaz album: Gorillaz: _Double bass_ Demon days: _White light_ Plastic beach: _Glitter freeze_ The fall: _Phoner to arizona, Aspen forest, The snake in dallas_ Humanz Super deluxe: _Colombians, Transformerz_ The now now: _Lake Zurich_ Song machine: _Taxi back to 80 revjikav_

This is suppose to represent 2D's mind and inner turmoil with paranoia and anxiety. I read about it.

This is my favourite Gorillaz song, whenever I go for a drive at night I always listen to this song it’s just so good and awesome

Sounds like the menu music from a ps2 game.

one of the best gorillaz songs, feels like a controlled panic attack

sky's fallin' baby drop that bass fore it crash

One of my personal favorites from their first album. So soothing and underrated.

Bass so loud it drowns out everything around you.

Sometimes the true gems are the most underrated or the ones that no one knows about.

Thank you for what you do, bassists. From one bass player to another, I appreciate the work we do.

This was the theme to my life at 14 skating and getting upto mischief

ngl one of my all-time favorite gorillaz tracks...

I feel like i'm grabbed by another dimension...

The beginning reminds me of soap. Like actual soap. The kind you take a bath with. And I'm not sure why.

Me: *tries to sleep* My brain: ay lets listen to double bass from gorillaz

This is one of those hidden gems for sure, this one and sound check are my two favorite from the whole album

Gonna see Gorillaz tomorrow night and nothing else matters -- life is good even if it's shitty, Gorillaz rules and I'm grateful to be alive at the same time as their existence,

This is my favorite gorillaz song

THE PERFECT SONG ON A ELEVATOR

4 minutes and 47 seconds of Murdoc flexing on us

For some reason this song makes me giggle uncontrollably

i wrote an essay for 3+ hours straight to this song. good adhd music

One of the most underrated and weird musics of Gorillaz, but i feel fine and kinda of wirdo' lsitening this

If Phase 1 Gorillaz had an RPG, this would be the music playing in the menu options as you check your partys' stats

My all time favorite gorillaz song nothing beat this just straight bass

This song made me think what if Ace and Murdoc played together or a had a bass battle. Either one would be cool, but imagine how good it would sound

you can't just listen to this once.

Epic bass

I've heard this song in several places... but I would never imagine that this song is by Gorillaz

this music is something i would hear in my dreams as background melody. Its oddly close to home and very relaxing as well. That's one of my bests songs from Gorillaz for sure.

this is both relaxing and ominous

This song is surprisingly calm

I could listen to this one on loop for hours

One of the most underrated Gorillaz Songs

Murdoc, you green baki-dancer looking boy, you've done too well in this song with the bass.

All of which makes me anxious

I feel like I'm falling on the infinite forever... or drowning, both slowly.

Me on a fishing trip: Double Bass

2:42 The best part

all of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so.

what a dope track this is

this song itches my brain in just the right way

this makes me anxious like for real. i feel a prickling sensation crawling up my neck, this is genius

*_It's Midnight!!_* ⭐💫

This song in particular was what made me want to play bass. I love it so much, I should play again. 💋❤

I watch this on the bus to school and this is one of the most beautiful things ever *cries in double bass & bass guitar player*

How I love the bass in this song so much ^ ^

This song makes me space out and then I break out of it when Damon says “all of which makes me anxious when times unbearably,”

This and Faust helps me sleep at night

I like this song for it's very diverse use of different noises and it's unsettling vibe with that sweet bass to top it off.

Masterpiece.

I still can’t get enough of this song, this and many other Gorillaz songs. SO GOOD.

This sounds like it could be in spongebob

this makes me feel like a reallly badass person doing something very cool and dark and illegal. hell idk its perfect

I love and loved this Album very much! Thank you for making it and thank you for uploading it. This is one of the 5 or so albums I ever really bought ;)

I’ll never forget the time I heard this song on shrooms lol I never gave this album a full listen before, only the first few songs. I ended up getting so lost in my trip and the whole album just played while I was staring off into space. This shit tripped me tf out!! It was so cool!! I felt like I was warm and melting into my carpet while staring at the ceiling and the trippy lights I had.

This is so great, I felt like I was falling into an abyss 😍

Just the beginning with no lyric already is amazing

this song is a literal representation of gorillaz, any 3 seconds of this 4 minutes is connected to the band style in a way that if u listen u can relate in no time

As a bass beginner, this song is such a big helper to improve my skills 😩

im so fucking crossed this shit is speaking to me i see the light :^)

This song is so addictive . I listen to it everyday :)

This song gives a feeling of pure nostalgia even if you’ve never heard it before.

this could the the part of the gorillaz show outro 🤷🏼‍♀️
