The Big Takeover Features Jeffrey Runnings
The Big Takeover writes that Jeffrey Runnings‘ posthumous release Piqued “rolls out like a catalog of the Nebraskan’s influences: the Chameleons, Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, Gary Numan, Talk Talk, the Smiths, the Sound. That’s not to say Runnings simply displays his record collection in song, however – outside of his skill at writing beautifully melodic tunes and acerbically romantic lyrics, his most singular ability is in filtering all of his atmospheric British influences through his forthright Midwestern sensibility. Lush arrangements meet straightforward tunes; arrangements distill foggy instrumentation into earthy sentiment.” Read more here.
