Gorillaz have released another single from their upcoming album Cracker Island, titled ‘Silent Running’. The track, which features longtime Gorillaz touring member Adeleye Omotayo, was one of the first tracks written for the new album in sessions with producer Greg Kurstin.
Band leader Damon Albarn says the track has “…that sort of mesmerising dreamlike state you get in when you’re just following some train of thought”. Listen to ‘Silent Running’ below.
