Morning Runner - Wilderness Is Paradise Now

Morning Runner release their debut album Wilderness Is Paradise Now, and the four lads - who met and formed the band in Reading before signing to Parlophone - definitely give pre-conceptions and stereotyping of the Indie label some food for thought. Full of achingly honest lyrics, lacking the pretension so many recent bands seem to actively strive for, Morning Runner are refreshing to both our stereo's, and faith in what is increasingly becoming throw-away, "fashionable" music. With eleven strong tracks, telling stories of obsession, depression, jealousy and desperation, WIPN defines the band as... well, a band hard to define. 2006.
