Its best result is #56 on The Current Top 89 Songs of 2023. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #352 indie & aaa song of 2023.
"Silent Running" sits on Cracker Island, the eighth studio album from Gorillaz, the British virtual band, which landed on 24 February 2023, and Adeleye Omotayo shares the vocal with the band. Damon Albarn wrote it with Greg Kurstin, and Kurstin is all over the track: co-producing with Gorillaz, engineering, and playing drums, bass, electric guitar, keyboards, piano and synthesizer.
Mark "Spike" Stent mixed it, with Matt Wolach assisting, and Julian Burg, Samuel Egglenton and Matt Tuggle engineered alongside Kurstin. The album grew out of a shelved second season of the Song Machine web series, was mostly cut in Los Angeles in 2021, and leans hard into pop and synth-pop; Albarn, the band's co-creator and frontman, has called it a loose concept record chewing on today's conspiracy theories and the echo chambers of the internet.
