Gorillaz - The Fall (2010)

O Gorillaz, projeto de Damon Albarn, cumpriu a promessa e disponibilizou hoje, sábado (25), dia de Natal, seu novo disco, The Fall, para ser ouvido gratuitamente eu seu site oficial (thefall.gorillaz.com).

Os membros do fã clube do grupo podem fazer o downoad das músicas, e quem não for membro pode ouvir em streaming, fornecendo um endereço de email.

The Fall foi gravado por Damon Albarn durante a turnê do Gorillaz pela América do Norte, no mês de outubro. Albarn utilizou um iPad, com vinte aplicativos para produção musical, para gravar as 14 faixas. Ele afirmou que o álbum é uma espécie de "diário" da turnê. "Eu literalmente fiz as músicas na estrada na América durante um mês", disse.

As faixas tem títulos remetendo aos locais por onde ele passou, como "Phoner to Arizona", "Detroit", "The Snake in Dallas" e "California and the Slipping of the Sun". O lendário soulman Bobby Womack, que acompanhou o Gorillaz em alguns shows, canta na música "Bobby in Phoenix". (Jornal do Brasil)
