"Friday 13th" will follow on from previous Song Machine tracks including "Momentary Bliss" featuring Slaves and slowthai, "Désolé" with Fatoumata Diawara, "Aries" featuring Peter Hook and Georgia, and "How Far?" with Skepta and the late Tony Allen.

It'll also be Octavian's first collaboration since April's "Poison", which featured Take A Daytrip, Obongjayar and Santi.

Song Machine is the group's first project since 2018's The Now Now.

Last month Gorillaz announced their first almanac book that's due for release in October.

Gorillaz and Octavian's "Friday 13th" collaboration drops tomorrow (9 June) at 5pm BST.
