Following up their full-length “It’s Our Hearts They’re After”, Cari Clara is back with a new batch of songs that come at you in the form of an EP called “You Better Run”. Well, they don’t exactly come right at you, these tracks are more likely to sneak up on you.
Like Vaux at their most mellow on “Beyond Virtue, Beyond Vice”, these Kentucky natives know how to write songs that could be the soundtrack to a roadtrip. One that ends at a funeral. Of course Vaux at their most mellow sounds a lot like Radiohead. And yes, the spirit of Thom Yorke is strong in this one. The biggest difference is that vocalist Eric Diedrichs doesn’t sound like he’s drowning in self-pity. Instead he wrote a bunch of songs that lure you in gently and then keep you in their territory long after the last notes have rung out. Stellar stuff that fans of the abovementioned and Muse should have a field day with.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
