While Jamie Hewlett was working with his team on a script for a possible Gorillaz movie, Damon Albarn was still recording Think Tank with Blur. By the time Albarn was ready to start writing and recording material for the Gorillaz movie, the whole idea had already been scrapped, although ideas from the movie’s script were still used, including the themes of being driven by ego and the world being trapped in an endless night. Despite this, the album’s main source of inspiration actually came about as a result of Albarn’s train journey from Beijing to Mongolia where he, his partner and six-year-old daughter spent a day travelling through what Albarn describes as a “weird, unspoken, forgotten part of China. It was basically dead trees as far as the eye can see,” Albarn recalls. “Dust bowls, loose earth rapidly turning into desert. There are little satellite towns in the middle of these semi deserts that are absolutely on their knees. And it’s the size of Europe this area. And then you wake up in the morning with this nightmare in your head and it’s blue sky and beautiful sand, which looks fantastic now but was probably something else millions of years ago. And that will happen to us in our lifetime.”
