Midlands Traveller Enjoys The Nostalgic Warmth Of Jeffrey Runnings’ Piqued

Midlands Traveller writes that Jeffrey Runnings‘ posthumous album “Piqued is a stark, lo-fi collection that feels like a dream-pop mixtape unearthed from the late ’80s, warm with nostalgia but weighted with the poignancy of mortality. The album features 10 tracks that blend analogue drum machines, synths, and Running’s unmistakably vulnerable voice. The arrangements are sparse but effective. Just like a diary whispered into a cassette recorder, every note feels deliberate and intimate.” There’s more here.
The final album from the longtime For Against leader, who died earlier this year of cancer, is at radio now via Independent Project Records.
