The Streets Mike Skinner and former singer in The Music, Rob Harvey, have announced details of their new collaboration The D.O.T.
The D.O.T. will release their 11-track album 'And That' on 22 October, before heading out on a UK tour together in October.
The album also includes contributions from Claire Maguire and US rapper Danny Brown on opening song 'And A Hero', according to NME.
Harvey revealed that the two had more than 60 songs before they decided on the final tracklisting of 11 on the album.
Harvey told the NME: "We'd both in bands for 10 years, and obviously Mike was really successful with what he did, and I had a little bit of success with The Music boys, but we were just bored of doing the same thing.
"So we just wanted to do something different [after our bands had split]."
Two tracks, 'What You Livin' For' and 'Goes Off', can be heard on the band's official website Thedot.net.
The tracklisting for 'And That' is:
'And A Hero' 'You Never Asked' (featuring Clare Maguire and Danny Brown)
'Goes Off'
'Weapon Of Choice'
'Shut Up And Keep Talking'
'Like You Used To'
'What You Livin' For'
'Right Side Of Madness'
'Strong Skunk'
'Colours That Don't Exist'
'Where Did I Go'
