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.
