about
«Runaway» is the stunning second single from this highly-touted Russian psych-folk quartet’s upcoming album “We Are.” The album’s first single «Knife» - which was released in April - garnered BBC radio play and was critically lauded. Louder Than War wrote: “for those who don't know them yet, ‘Knife’ is a classic Lucidvox cut: replete with raga vocals and a revolving set of chord changes and time signatures"
The new single «Runaway» is a more atmospheric track, though no less compelling. Featuring a haunting vocal melody and widescreen textures (trumpet, electric piano), it is dedicated to the one who gets lost. The one who runs in fear of himself, and lives both passionately and thoughtlessly. The song cautions that it is sometimes better to stop moving, so that one does not drive themselves into a cage.
Alina, who wrote the lyrics, wanted to warn her brother with these words. There were actions in his past that ultimately resulted in him going to prison.
lyrics
Runaway
You are going the wrong way
Stop
Turn around
Halt
Don’t rush
You have your whole life ahead of you.
Wait,
Breathe.
Where you run
There is only darkness and heat.
What drives you -
Are fear and pain
Believe
You are stronger
Then your fears.
Believe, you are wiser
Then your actions.
Be brave
And you will change your world.
And do not rush now.
Everything is ahead of you.
An earthy amalgam of American Primitive, spiritual jazz, and drone from this Seattle group is full of orbiting melodies and forest vibes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2023
