Damon Albarn has asked The Horrors to appear on the forthcoming Gorrilaz album due out next year.

According to Horrors bassist Rhys Webb Albarn got in touch as soon as he heard the London bands latest album 'Primary Colours'.

“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.

Webb went on to explain: “It was kind of a strange email saying, 'Would you guys be able to come down to my studio at some point?'

"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 (Damon Albarn).”

“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?” he added.

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

During the interview Rhys also revelaed that Damon Albarn has mixed The Horrors next single, a new track called 'Whole New Way'.
