A single released today from Chicago-based band Provider, “Run Away” struts a desire to “make it out tonight,” and escape from seemingly destined mundanity. A peppy rock sound enamors, scaling back as the vocals admit never wanting to return home; gripping guitar work follows, invoking an atmosphere and tone reminiscent of The War on Drugs. The title-touting briskness thereafter invokes a more pop-ready immediacy in its tonal ferocity and overall vibrancy. Look for the band’s upcoming album, Automatic Thoughts, in July.
