Finally... the wait it's over!

'The Fall', Gorillaz' sonic journal of their 32 day journey through North America in the autumn of 2010... will now receive a physical release available for fans all over the world!

A Limited Edition 180gm vinyl is to be released for Record Store Day on 16th April by Parlophone and then CD and digital download will be available on 18th April.

When asked about the nature of the album, this is what 2D had to say:

Murdoc

"Uhmmm....The first Gorillaz album, our debut record, was more Russel's...like... lots of hip-hop, funk and Cuban dub stars. Demon Days right, came more from Noodle and her dark doomy demos that she made, and all of her contemplations on the world 'in a place of night'. Plastic Beach came out mainly from Murdoc's head, all of his mucky exploits and global collaborations and legendary mash-ups recorded on the Plastic Beach island in the middle of the ocean. Very rum and piratey... And this one The Fall, is mostly just me...something more gentle and just...well...it's just me and an iPad really mucking about...trying out some stuff. Just looking at America and then tapping on the screen...I'm not really concentrating too hard on it....So, right, each album got all of us on it somewhere, but each time it's... more of one of us than the others....Well, that's how I see it anyway."
