Gorillaz are halfway through their four-night residency at London’s Copper Box Arena and Damon Albarn and his creative partner Jamie Hewlett have been doing the press rounds, talking about their project’s now 25 year history.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Albarn also let slip a puzzling nugget about their 2001 self-titled debut album. “I can’t quite believe I can still hit the falsetto,” he said. “That first record has a crazy amount of falsetto.” It was, he says, “definitely… related to the drugs I was taking. I was a much more irresponsible human being. I was hitting some notes I really didn’t think coming back I’d be able to hit again.”
