Gorillaz give away their new album made on an iPad

Caspar Llewellyn Smith and Jamie Doward of The Guardian:

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.”
