Gorillaz has released a new music video for their song “Silent Running” featuring longtime collaborator Adeleye Omotayo. The song is off the band’s upcoming album, Cracker Isalnd, set to be released on Friday, February 24 via Warner Records. Watch the new action packed video below.
The new music video, directed by Jamie Hewlett and Nexus Studios director Fx Goby, features Gorillaz members Murdoc, Noodle and Russel solve the mystery of 2D’s disappearance. Each member has their own problems, but they are all barreling towards a prophesized day of reckoning called The Rupture. This and the fate of the band itself, is revealed in the new video. The music video made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and on the Paramount Times Square billboards. “The shadow of time is always following us. Nothing is forever. Those who fight it are doomed to lose,” shared Noodle.
