Gorillaz' Damon Albarn has said he hopes the band will release a new album before Christmas.
 
 The singer and Blur frontman said he had been working on a follow-up to this year’s ‘Plastic Beach’ during the group’s US tour.
 
 "I've been recording a new record on the road, which I'm going to try and put out before Christmas,” he said. 
 
 “It's a studio album made in hotel rooms across America.”
 
 Albarn told NME that he had been recording the new songs on his iPad, adding: "I hope I'll be making the first record on an iPad — which is ironic, being the sort of technophobe and Luddite that I am.”
Gorillaz are set to kick off their UK tour in Manchester tonight (November 12). For more details, check out Gigwise Gig Tickets.
