Brighton’s SoftTop share the euphoric indie-ballad “Runaway”, out today through Crafting Room Recordings. Creatively spearheaded by keyboardist/vocalist Miles Goodall, and featuring musicians/producers of such Brighton acts as Hutch, Ideal Living and TINMAN, the seven-piece ensemble goes truly big and impressive on this track.
As we await the release of their as-yet-unreleased wider project, this single serves as a tantalizing preview of what’s to come. The production on it is impeccable, showcasing the band’s meticulous attention to detail and their willingness to experiment with new sounds and techniques. The mix balances the lush orchestration with moments of stark simplicity, allowing the song’s emotional core to shine through.
To support the single’s release, SoftTop will perform a special headline show at Brighton’s Folklore Rooms today (with support from Martha Eve and Etienne) — tickets are available here.
