Clean Cut Kid are blessed with excellent follicles. Look at them. You could get lost in the beard belonging to that one on the bottom left. The quartet—that's Mike Halls, Evelyn Halls, Saul Godman and Ross Higginson—hail from Liverpool and first started making waves a few months back thanks to a handful of sprightly tracks like "Vitamin C" and "Twenty Years From Now." There's something in their bright tones and layered vocals that manages to recall both Vampire Weekend and a stripped back Arcade Fire.Above is the premiere for their forthcoming new single "Runaway" which takes those aforementioned musical nods and throws in a pinch of Friendly Fires and Tanlines too—all euphoric yelps and propulsive percussion. According to Mike, "Runaway" was written in just an hour."I'd spent the last tenner [£10] of the last installment of my final year student loan," he explains. "It’s a song about feeling beaten before you've even started the race, and that moment when you realize that there are just some things you'll never escape.”Yikes. That's a bummer feeling, but this song is quite the opposite."Runaway" is out via Babe Magnet Records/Polydor on 9.4.
