New Gorillaz album teaser

The Fall will be available as a free download on Christmas Day

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 17 Dec 2010

Having well and truly sewn up the title of Hardest Working Man In Music, Damon Albarn now seems keen on getting the title of Most Generous.

With Plastic Beach, his latest meisterwerk with Gorillaz, scarcely out nine months, Albarn has announced plans for another album release from the virtual band. Best of all, it will come in the form of a free download available on December 25. A pretty nice Christmas present. Here's a new teaser for the album:

Tracklisting:

'Revolving Doors'

'HillBilly Man'

'Detroit'

'Shy-town'

'Little Pink Plastic Bags'

'The Joplin Spider'

'The Parish of Space Dust'

'The Snake In Dallas'

'Amarillo'

'The Speak It Mountains'

'Aspen Forest'

'Bobby In Phoenix'

'California And The Slipping Of The Sun'

'Seattle Yodel'

The Fall will be available to download from the official Gorillaz website, with a physical release to follow in 2011.

Albarn says the album was born out of boredom. “I did it because there's a lot of time that you just spend staring at walls essentially. And it was a fantastic way of doing it. 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."

"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."

DAMON ALBARN just can’t sit still. When he’s not fronting the most ambitious rock group in recent memory or touring with one of the best-loved bands of the ‘90s, there’s always another charity project, musical score or supergroup to be getting on with. And then there’s a planet that needs saving... the busiest man in rock makes time for a chat with Dave Fanning to talk collaborations, protests and his new sixteenth century oper
