Say hello to the newest mood-builders on the block. Delhi band Run it’s the Kid might have been around only a couple of years but their debut single belies their young age. “Love We’re Made From Porcelain” is a rich slow waltz with plenty of reverie and melody to make you want to dwell on a decaying love and what-could-have-beens.
The song is a part of their upcoming album due on February 29th. Says the band’s vocalist/guitarist Shantanu Pandit, “We will release another single maybe a month from now, before the album comes out.” Run it’s the Kid also features Dhruv Bhola [guitars], Danik Ghosh [bass] and Bhairav Gupta [drums]. The band was formed in 2013 and the self-titled album has been in the pipeline for quite some time. “The album has 10 songs. We recorded it in Calcutta with [producer] Miti Adhikari. The tracking itself was done in seven days but we took our time on the mix,” says Pandit.
The album will comprise a mix of slow ballads and untempo compositions about love and life in general. Since the band calls itself a “moody waltz” act, ask Pandit if all the tracks will be straight-up waltz compostions in ¾ signature and he says, “Well, most are, in one way or the other, variations of the ¾ waltz.”
The band is currently also working on a tour to promote the album, the details of which should be out soon.
