Shirley Griffith tells us more.

SHIRLEY GIRIFFITH: That was the song “Revolving Doors.” It was recorded in Boston, Massachusetts. Damon Albarn is the only permanent member of Gorillaz. He created the band with the comic book artist Jamie Hewlett. Other band members change periodically depending on the album performance.
The Fall is unusual because it was not recorded using a sound studio. Gorillaz used an iPad and about twenty iPad programs, or apps, to make the album. Some songs also include tradition instruments such as the guitar, piano and several kinds of electronic instruments.
“The Parish of Space Dust” was recorded in Houston, Texas. It includes recordings of several local radio stations.

Imaginary characters are an important part of Gorillaz performances. When the band performs, images of cartoon characters are shown on huge screens. These characters are considered the band’s virtual band members. They include Noodle, 2D, and Murdoc Niccals. Fans can explore the lives of these characters on the Gorillaz website.
