Morning Runner: Wilderness Is Paradise Now

Distributed by
Parlophone (EMI)


With most of the recent music cred coming from 'up north', Reading's Morning Runner debut album is hardly going to raise a challenge to the likes of the Kaisers or Arctic Monkeys.

Most of the power stuff is of no real musical significance (it's been done before and failed miserably), though they might fare better with melodic offerings, such as the tender Hold Your Breath. There's a small glimmer of promise, though that's probably due to Coldplay piano influences heard on Burning Bridges. High tempo blasts - Have Good Time, Gone Up In Flames don't have hit making qualities: the soaring Great Escape and jaunty Punching Walls might, at a stretch, prove otherwise.

The lyrical content may bare difficult issues, but the music is nowhere near challenging enough to make them a super-group of the future.


One standout feature is Matthew Greener's adaptable vocal style, flexible enough to handle the rough and tumble with their softer leanings - closer Best For You is definitely the best song here.

To date, overall songwriting is average at best, so they're a long way-off competing with the better bands.

As yet, they haven't developed their individuality which they'll to need to make a lasting impression, in what is an already cluttered music scene of ubiquitous bands.

No gongs at next year's Brits and NME awards I'm afraid.
