What has the artist said about this album?
Regarding his process for creating The Fall while on tour and his reason for it’s spontaneous release to fan club members, Gorillaz co-creator Damon Albarn stated the following:
I literally made it on the road. I didn’t write it before, I didn’t prepare it. I just did it day by day as a kind of diary of my experience in America. If I left it until the New Year to release it then the cynics out there would say, ‘Oh well, it’s been tampered with’, but if I put it out now they’d know that I haven’t done anything because I’ve been on tour ever since.
