Gorillaz, the cartoon-styled supergroup renowned for breaking new ground in the worlds of music and technology, have notched up another claim to fame.
The band that headlined this year's Glastonbury festival today released The Fall, an album that can be downloaded free and was largely produced using only an iPad. "I've never been someone who's embraced technology particularly," frontman Damon Albarn told a New Zealand TV station this month, shortly after announcing that Gorillaz would stop playing live in their current format. "I've always tried to keep true to my roots, which was just a four-track and a guitar, but I got given an iPad and I suddenly found myself in a position where I could make quite a sonically sophisticated record in my hotel room."
Albarn, who led the Britpop revolution with Blur, has called The Fall a love letter to America. "I used to be very baffled by this place, and I guess I still am in some ways. But right now, with all that's going on, this is a good place to be."
The album was made available to fans who opened the final door of a virtual Advent calendar on the
band's website. It can also be accessed as a stream on Gorillaz.com, while a physical release of the record is
planned for the new year.
While the 42-year-old Albarn made use of 20 applications on his new tablet device to create the album, traditionalists will be reassured to learn that a handful of conventional instruments were also employed. Mick Jones contributes guitar on one track, while Paul Simonon – his erstwhile bandmate in the Clash, now a Gorillaz stalwart – chips in with bass on another.
Gorillaz are not the first major band to release an album free via the internet. Radiohead put out In
Rainbows as a digital download in 2007 employing an "honesty box" scheme. But experts suggest Gorillaz are at the vanguard in recognising how the business model of popular music is changing, with fans able to play games, become an exclusive member of its fan club and buy limited-edition artwork all on the website.
