    Easy digestion may be good business, but lack of adventure remains unsettling.

    Sure, Cruel Runnings is a bit of a one-trick pony--but, you have to admit, it's a pretty great trick.

    Much of the album is infused with a Casablancas-meets-RSO Records aesthetic circa 1980. Ultimately, it’s just that style, matched with musical substance, that helps Cruel Runnings register as a lot more than just retro hipster pastiche.
