Since joining Instagram in September, the Gorillaz have taken advantage of social media just about as well as anyone with video origin stories of each of its fictional band members.

Now, it appears they've upped their game and joined the realm of dating apps. Reddit users noticed that guitarist/keyboardist Noodle had a page on OkCupid that was "looking for people, located anywhere, ages 18-99." Interestingly, the profile included the additional note "Ready? 12:11" signed by D.A (which we assume refers to one of the band's real-life masterminds, Damon Albarn).

Later, the profile photo changed to a previously never-before-seen photo of Albarn, which hints that he may have been behind it. Shortly after the switch, the profile page was removed. Of course, this means the page could have been fake, but the group is clearly ramping up toward a release of some kind and Albarn has been on record saying a new Gorillaz album "should be ready fairly soon." A December 11 release date wouldn't be entirely unreasonable.
