SINGLE REVIEW: The Noise Who Runs - Takes a long cold look and the kitchen sink
Trippy, dreamy, effervescent new single 'Takes a long cold look and the kitchen sink' from The Noise Who Runs (who include Sneaker Pimps Ian Pickering) is a raw, but ethereal protest song.
It shares the frustration of corruption, political insanity and how a whole generation has failed to make a difference and change the world for the better. A catalyst to a lost generation living in turmoil and confusion due to political inadequacies.
Soft synths, gentle vocals laced with a raw realness 'Takes a long cold look and the kitchen sink' is a daydream sound mixed with bleak contrasting lyrics presenting the idea of a world that's failing its people at every opportunity.
The Noise Who Runs sound combines electronic grooves with occasional bursts of experimentation, pounding drum machines, bold riffs, nonchalant indie energy and dreampop vibes.
'Takes a long cold look and the kitchen sink' is a hard hitting lyric compelling in the notion of real life suffering. The rich get richer while the poor suffer at the hands of big business. Delivered in a mystical, dainty way it's captivating, honest with catchy addictive energy.
