Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely on an iPad during the 'Plastic Beach' tour, 'The Fall' is a stripped-back, moody travelogue of America. Damon Albarn captures the loneliness of the road with sparse electronic beats and melancholic melodies. It is a quiet, personal counterpoint to the bombast of their main albums.
