Fresh off a world tour playing to over 1.5 million delighted fans across 24 countries, Gorillaz are kicking off 2023 with the highly anticipated release of brand new track ‘Silent Running ft. Adeleye Omotayo’. Listen here

‘Silent Running ft. Adeleye Omotayo’ is taken from the band’s upcoming new studio album Cracker Island and was the first track worked on by Gorillaz and eight-time Grammy Award-winning producer/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter extraordinaire Greg Kurstin at his studio in Los Angeles last year. Those early sessions revealed an evocative synth-led ‘80’s sound that ultimately set the tone for the album sonically. ‘Silent Running’ features vocalist and long-time Gorillaz performer Adeleye Omotayo, and has what Albarn describes as “… that sort of mesmerising dreamlike state you get in when you’re just following some train of thought.”

Gorillaz frontman 2D added – “Sometimes I get well lost and end up in the wrong place but then it turns out that’s where I was meant to be going anyway.”

The new single release comes ahead of an epic music video for ‘Silent Running ft Adeleye Omotayo’, directed by artist and Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett and the Emmy-nominated Nexus Studios director, Fx Goby, coming to a screen near you soon. Watch trailer here

Gorillaz will return to North America this Spring, with a full live band performance – to include surprise guests – at Coachella on Friday the 14th and Friday the 21st of April 2023. 

The brand new studio album from Gorillaz titled Cracker Island is out February 24th, 2023 on Warner Records.
