专辑简介
Flushed from Fayetteville, North Carolina-where they thought they could remain comfortably obscure-by our release of their only album, the Runners have recently re-surfaced. Issued in ultra-limited quantity by B.T. Puppy in 1970-and now changing hands for sums more familiar to NASDAQ-this is an other-worldly blend of sweet female blotter acid harmonies, hypnotic Farfisa and high-octane fuzz guitar histrionics. A Sundazed Music release.
Using the trippy, folky rock of Jefferson Airplane and eerie,
organ-driven soundscapes as a foundation, the Bow Street Runners may
not have many original ideas in their head, but that's part of their
appeal. Their lone, eponymous album is filled with attempts at
hippie mysticism and menacing, swirling fuzzy psychedelia, yet the
group has neither the inclination or the talent to turn it into
something original. Nevertheless, the group is somewhat distinctive
in the ways its attempts fail ?"Spunky Monkey" is an aimless and
slightly ridiculous blues jam, "Eating from a Plastic Hand" has a
silly, ominous minor-key melody and, best of all, "Watch" sounds
like Ringo Starr fronting the Doors. It doesn't make for good or
provocative music, but as a late-'60s artifact, it's fascinating. ?
