Track: ‘Runaway’

Why We Like It: It’s a jaunty indie track featuring soaring ethereal guitars pounding drums and an airy wall of sound. The tight intricate guitar work weaves between the buoyant backdrop adding a dash of zest and giving a biting quality to the song while the infectious melody and smooth vocals give the song a slinky coating. The anthemic chorus and creeping verses contrast beautifully as Rivers create a tight and well developed track.
