Have a listen to this cover of the 'The xx - Crystalised' as recorded by Damon Albarn of 'Gorillaz' at BBC Radio earlier this week. It has also been confirmed that the group is also dropping an entire new Gorillaz album before Christmas that has been completely recorded and finalized on an iPad while on their most recent tour. Gorillaz co-conspirator Jamie Hewlett announced that the untitled effort will drop on Christmas Day. “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.” There are still little details as to what to expect from the Londoners, but Albarn made sure to emphasize the fact that the whole thing was indeed recorded on his iPad during the band’s 2010 world tour. “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,” Albarn said. “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.”
