Lockdown proved a useful regrouping space for duo Run Logan Run after original member Andrew Neil Hayes recruited new drummer Matt Brown in late 2019. The enforced hiatus enabled some intense jamming and a series of livestreamed gigs with like-minded collaborators, including bass player/producer Riaan Vosloo. The outcome, as showcased by this album, is a tighter musical vision and a powerful contemporary sound. The music’s architecture clearly derives from dance music culture but, this doesn’t mean a remorseless groove fest. From the Kemet-like fanfare opening of 'Screaming With The Lights On' through to the scattershot coda of closing number 'Wise Man Eames' the mood shifts from track to track, encompassing mellower melodics ('Moving With Speed') and free jazz disjunctures ('It’s About Ice Cream') as well as the more familiar post-Baroque arpeggios of 'Give Me Back My Slippers'. Stylistic commonalities outweigh the diversities, however, with each number typified by a series of sax motifs, abrupt prog-like gear shifts and timely disruptions of the dynamics. Throughout Vosloo’s contribution as sound designer adds, variously, drum & bass synth, subliminal drones or evocative sound washes. While it adds up to a bigger production sound than previous RLR recordings, paradoxically it somehow more accurately reflects the often visceral impact of their live performances – many songs here are surely destined to become onstage favourites.
