Dirty Beaches – Lone Runner (2011)

The new single picks up where Hungtai left off with Badlands; his adoration of Sun Records allowing him to drift into a Johnny Cash story-telling mode: “I can see him dancin’/Going down the aisle/Lone Runner…Lone Runner.” The flip side features the cut “Stye Eye”, which was previously released on a limited edition cassette. You could almost say this new Dirty Beaches 7-inch is howling and grimy, but it would behoove me not to use such cliched adjectives. [Source]
