It’s been three years since Western Australia trio Dan Cribb & The Isolated graced us with new music. Good things come to those who wait though, and their new single “Run Away” is a very good thing indeed.
I love this track’s pop-punk energy. You just see if it doesn’t have you moving your body in time once the chorus rolls around. But under all that dynamism, the track explores some serious themes of isolation and anxiety.
“A lot my close friends started moving away from Perth around the same time, which was a real shock to the system, but taught me a lot about myself in a weird way,” he said. “It was while I was battling those anxieties that I wrote this song, which sort of helped me work through everything and realise how important certain relationships are.”
Dan Cribb & The Isolated will launch “Run Away” at new Perth venue Hell Hole on July 21.
