about

Don’t get fooled by the angry riffs in Run, this songs has a positive thing to say; while we’re busy running away from something bad, we might miss that we’re running into something a lot better. However, getting rid of scary doomsday stories you’ve been fed in the church bench since infancy, is hard. Run is full with blink and you’ll miss them-bible references paired with small town trash imagery. That makes a lot of sense for the most personal song on an album that will be titled Drive-through Chapel.

Musically, this song might bring to mind Swedish indie darlings Broder Daniel, and a hint of Swervedriver. Some inspiration was garnered from The Chipmunks 1988 song “The Wall” to evoke the right kind of bitter sweet. The limit of how high the BPM of a Shoegaze song is aptly pushed to leave the listener with a taste of blood in their mouth. Like running too fast does.

lyrics

I’ve stolen breaths in multitude
Rescued no birds from solitude
There’s no green fields from where I come
Some guns, a church and my father’s home
Drooling dogs and and a pavement filled
With blood of scraped knees aching still
I’m still running away
Still running away
Still running away
Still running away

Yea, though I walk in the valley of
Scripture paper cuts and smokers cough
psalms sung through a baleful voice
I have my runners and I have a choice

If my palms bleed
It’s cause I slipped and fell
That’s why I run now
Before it’s hard to tell

Still running away
Still running away
Still running away
Still running away

They have their father where I lost mine
Trampled in the communion line
Howling at moons and stuffing his head
With tasteless altar bread
They’ll need Clorox and a million licks
To get the cream off that crucifix

If my palms bleed
It’s cause I slipped and fell
That’s why I run now
Before it’s hard to tell

When I am weak then I am strong
I run towards not away from

about

Spunsugar Malmö, Sweden

Spunsugar is an alternative rock band with shoegaze influences. Sound wise, imagine if Alternative Nation on MTV 1997 and a drum machine fall into a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy wheel breaks and derails. They grew up farmer offsprings, bible belt kids of fundamentalists and trailer trash in small towns of Sweden. These are their references and this shapes their sound. ... more
