Known for writing timeless trip-hop-inspired hits including Tesko Suicide, 6 Underground, and Spin Spin Sugar with his previous band, The Sneaker Pimps (eBay), Ian Pickering teams up with Brazilian/French guitar wizard Felipe Goes. The duo, known collectively as The Noise Who Runs, have just released These Will Be Your Gods EP. A four-track masterpiece, the quad of originals forms a clearly defined square in their circle of sound. The Noise Who Runs is a translation of the French phrase meaning Gossip, O bruit qui cour. This fourth EP release from the band since their conception in 2019, 3 years after British Northerner Ian Pickering emigrated to France, follows on from their highly sought-after High Time In Lo-Fi EP that landed last year. Written about the cult of popular personality that follows deceptive and narrow-minded fame campaigns, the act of putting the dimmest star on the highest plinth has a new detractor in this dark and passionate song.
 
Waves of distorted sound build an eerie and backwards atmosphere as cymbals and drums echo into forward motion. A deep and sensual bass then breaks through with strikes of glissando guitar. Pounding rhythm slowly creeps like meandering imaginations through darkly lit thought forms. Synths and cymbal fill the airy spaces as the lyrics bring a sense of ominous apprehension. Doomy and gloomy, the music lurches forward in pained melody as beauty spreads from the humanly awkward harmonies and key-changes. Subtle progression reveals spacious buzz-saw like keyboards that bring out twinkling aspects among the thump of heavy bass. As the track culminates, a force of multiple instruments rises from the core to flower like black roses.
