We berichtten jullie de afgelopen weken al over het nieuwe album van de Gorillaz dat met kerst als adventskalender-cadeau gereleased zou worden, vandaag is het kerstmis (Fijne kerstdagen!!!), en dus staat het album vandaag als verrassing. Het album van de band is 'The Fall' en kan in zijn geheel beluisterd worden op de site van de Gorillaz. The Fall is opgenomen tussen 3 en 30 oktober, tijdens de tournee in Canada en de Verenigde Staten. Opmerkelijk zijn enkele gastoptredens, waarbij die van Bobby Womack (Womack and Womack – Teardrops) het meest in het oog springt.
