After our previous entry, Runner by Tennis, more exertion in the fabulous latest song by the band fronted by Oxford-based composer, keyboard player and artist Oly Ralfe. The sweating in this song isn’t so much from healthy exercise as a manic mixture of work, waiting, worry, and panic and more, including a relationship, accompanied by clever, syncopated piano and guitar riffs that build to a catchy crescendo. Ralfe Band have released previous albums, Swords in 2006, Attic Thieves (2008), Son Be Wise (2013) and Oly also worked on the soundtrack album to Bunny and The Bull (2010). Hopefully there will be a new album in 2020. More information can be found here.
