The exciting news came in a tweet from Damon Albarn’s animated alter-ego reading: “Coming up on Song Machine… It’s @RobertSmith. Follow your nearest Song Machine NOW!”

Song Machine is a 10-episode project – with songs released sporadically – celebrating the Gorillaz 20th anniversary as a band. Since announcing season one of the series back in January, the band have teamed up with a stack of high-profile artists, including the unmistakable Joy Division/New Order bassist, Peter Hook. You can listen to the single featuring Hooky, here.
They’ve also been working on their first hardback annual – The Gorillaz ALMANAC, featuring 120+ pages of games, puzzles, new artwork and comic strips, published by Z2 Comics, set to arrive in October. Pre-order, here.
