RUNNERS - STRIVING FOR PERFECTION

ELECTRO KRAUTROCK DISCO

SLEEK / PRISTINE / DIY / LEEDS / ART.

The band play live a lot but release little, but what they do give out publicly is of a bloody high standard. Can`t believe I missed this when it came out in April this year.

The band have been back in the studio to come out with a EP "Tranquility Base". The release of their debut 12" single "starting line" (the slick video to this is included down below) was hampered by the fire that happened to the Sony DADC/PIAS centre during the "riots" of 2011 ... pretty much all of the 12" were destroyed, leaving a few.. and considering the amount of work they put into it .. and that everyone else in the band is part of another prolific band so the time spent on it was tight anyway.. it really fucked things for the project.. but what doesn`t kill you makes you stronger and they are back with some force.

If you are going away this summer, pack Tranquility Base. It has the blue skies and the warm breeze included. There`s a samba vibe within that feels very European at the same time .. There`s sense of moving into the light a lot more with this EP .. away from the linear circuitry of "starting line" .. There`s a new 12" coming out soon .. it`s split release, but details are sketchy for now. Take your positions and wait for the starting pistol...I`ll race you to their facebook page...
