Run to be Born

The debut album, Run to Be Born, belongs in a pantheon with the Kinks, Donovan, Bowie, Bolan, and their generational hiers: Beck, Robert Pollard, Elliot Smith, The Flaming Lips. Its songs are tightly structured, lyrical, at turns subtle, then harder driving.

The world is yours when you're encased in sound. A rock concert is a stadium-sized version of that feeling. Think of seventies-era festivals, topless girls on boys' shoulders, wine and joints and picnic blankets, people sharing one collective dream. Walking Concert evokes that spirit...the sound is about unique and clever interpretations of a classic form. Songs that are like multi-colored Christmas lights: turn them on and it changes the whole ambiance of a place. You might even want to climb on someone's shoulders and take your shirt off.
