New Gorillaz-Album To Be Released On Christmas?

As Gorillaz-frontman pointed out last month, the world could in fact enjoy another full-length offering from the inspiring collective right on Christmas. Albarn and co-founder Jamie Hewlett recently sat down with Australia’s Perth Now in which they opened up on the status of the yet-untitled iPad-longplayer. Here’s what Hewlett had to say:

“At the moment, we’ve got an Advent calendar on our website, and there is a daily door that opens to reveal a gift. On Christmas Eve, a video for one of the new songs from the iPad album will be released. Then, on Christmas Day, fans get the whole album downloaded to their computer for free as a gift.

I wanted to make sure that it came out at the end of the tour because I don’t want anyone to think I’d tampered with it. I literally made it on the road in America over a month. 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.”

We are certainly hoping for it.
