Damon Albarn Reveals All About Gorlliaz New Album 'The Fall'

December 16, 2010
Damon Albarn Reveals All About Gorlliaz New Album 'The Fall'Damon Albarn has spoken in detail about the Gorillaz new album ‘The Fall’.

The follow-up to this year’s ‘Plastic Beach’ was recorded on an iPad and is due to be released as a free download on Christmas Day (December 25).

Albarn told Australian radio station Triple J: "It's called The Fall because I wrote it in October. I didn't want to call it October because U2 had already used that.

“Although I like the word October, I like the month, I like the feeling."

The album was recorded during the band’s US tour.

“I found working in the day, whether it's in the hotel or in the venue, it was a brilliant way of keeping myself well,” Albarm said.

“It's like a diary, I literally wrote everything on the day in each place and there's a strange sort of sound of America and it's musical traditions that comes through. It feels like a journey through America."

‘The Fall’ will feature a mix of collaborators, Albarn added, many of whom just “popped in” while it was being recorded.
