Gorillaz have been hinting at new music with the launch of an official Instagram and a series of animated ‘books’ for each of the fictional band’s members. Now they’ve gone a step further by revealing an important date – via the very unlikely source of OkCupid.

Keen Reddit users noticed that Noodle, the virtual band’s guitarist, has a profile on the dating site that’s linked to Gorillaz’s Instagram account. The profile lists Noodle’s attributes: 26 years old, queer, and searching for new friends aged 18 to 99.

Most excitingly, the profile description reads: “Ready? 12:11 xx DA” The “DA” sign-off refers to real world band leader Damon Albarn, who was also pictured in the lead profile photo later in the day. The date is presumably referring to November 12, which could be when we hear the first taste of the next Gorillaz album.

This isn’t the only bit of unconventional promo that Gorillaz have done for their next record: recently, drummer Russel was seen giving an in-character interview to a magazine for cat owners. Then again, that’s far from the craziest thing that’s happened in the Gorillaz universe, as we explored in a recent feature on the band.

The OkCupid account has since been deleted, but check out a screenshot of Noodle’s original profile below.
