Our favorite virtual homeboys are back again, this time with the physical release of their latest album: The Fall. The Gorillaz released the album last December as a free DL for fans in the Sub-Division Fan Club. Now that the physical copy is out, anybody who's anyone should go to their local record store and buy the hard copy. The album was written and recorded during the band's North American stint of the Escape to Plastic Beach World Tour in "hotel rooms across America." How does a band of the Gorillaz magnitude record a band WHILE TOURING and IN HOTEL ROOMS? Simple. First, Damon Albarn can do anything he wants. Second, wait for it- He used an iPad. "I hope I'll be making the first record on an iPad, I fell in love with my iPad as soon as I got it, so I've made a completely different kind of record." I wont be the first to say that he accomplished just that, and once again has brought us something revolutionary.

This is a little taste of how the Gorillaz created their album, brought to you by 2D, the Gorillaz main man. It makes me extremely jealous of anyone who currently has an iPad, and if you dig mixing and have one- here's the link for the Gorillaz iELECTRIBE app.

The album kicks off with the track "Phoner to Arizona" which is an amazing track in itself, and I just can't help but think about how this album was created on an iPad. Which is also a testament to how lame the Kindle is, but that's besides the point.

The Fall does not fail to deliver, and it only lacks in vocals, but makes up for that with the usual killer beats, funky tunes and ahead of the times style the Gorillaz have become so well known for. It's revolutionary, it's The Fall, It's Gorillaz.

Music Blogger/ Indie Music Consultant/ PR Representative/ Musician/ Artist/ Entreprenuer/ Comedian/ Music World: Contact Me. Upon this day, I declare that Indie music is leaps and bounds more pure than anything else, and the Term "Indie" means not that a band isn't mainstream, but that a band has been able to hold on to its roots, even through fame and fortune. While the wonderful thumps and womps of electronic music gets me grooving, it will always be the Alternative Indie Rock that guides me to the homeland. And for that -- I both thank it and applaud it -- for it has brought me great pleasure in the past and will so in the future.
