Launching into the new year – SOLAR EYES – present their breathless new single: âLetâs Run Awayâ.Â
Infusing their far-out sounds with low-slung guitar lines straight out of a Morricone flick, the latest from the Birmingham psych/pop duo is set at a galloping pace that leaves no time to waste.Â
ââLetâs Run Awayâ was one of the last songs to be written on the album, it was written in Texas last March when we were out there playing south by. You can sort of hear it as well, thereâs that Americana haze type sound. Spaghetti western vibe. I sort of had in my head â now this might sound a bit mad â Tracey Chapman âFast Carâ â in essence. But with a brummie slant. A Bonnie and Clyde type thing.â
Inspired by small-town tales of daylight robberies in times of old and rumours of the last crimes of the infamous duo Bonnie & Clyde, âLetâs Run Awayâ is alive with drama and intrigue to rival its pulse-quickening pace. As Glenn sings:Â
âI hope that given time, youâll forgive my crimes, I donât wanna die alone, I love you, I let you go, Iâm to blame // I see it all, I heed the call, let’s run awayâŠâ
