Songs Similar to Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz

Released 2005 · Album: Demon Days · Alternative · Chill

"Feel Good Inc." came out in 2005 as the lead single from Gorillaz's second album, Demon Days, which Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's virtual band made with producer Danger Mouse. It is built on one of the most recognizable basslines of the decade, a loose, rolling groove under a crisp drum beat and a strummed acoustic guitar. Albarn's sleepy, falsetto-leaning hook drifts over the top, broken up by a manic laugh and a sharp rap verse from De La Soul. The mood is hazy and disaffected, a song about numbness and media overload that still feels relaxed enough to put on in the background.

Songs that sound like it combine a melodic, upfront bassline, laid-back hip-hop drums and a melancholy indie vocal, often with a guest rapper or a sudden change in texture. Look to the mid-2000s overlap of alternative rock, trip-hop and hip-hop, Danger Mouse's other productions, and Albarn's wider catalog.
