Gorillaz Collaborate With The Horrors On New Album

The Horrors have collaborated with Gorillaz on the band's forthcoming album - out next year.

Horrors bassist Rhy Webb says Damon Albarn approached them after hearing this year's 'Primary Colours' album.

"He got a copy of it really early, contacted us out completely out of the blue and told us how much he liked it," Webb told BBC 6Music.

"It was kind of a strange email saying, 'Would you guys be able to come down to my studio at some point?'" He added. "We had no idea really what it was about but thought that would be great to go down there, have a chat, it would be nice to meet him."

"We went down to the studio and he said, 'We're working on the new album and we've not collaborated with a guitar band before and you're album is one of the most exciting things I've heard in a long time. Would you be up for working on a track?"

"They have always been diverse and experimental and I think as a band moving forwards, that's very much they way we approach music."
