Breaking out like a battery-powered Casio keyboard rendition of California Uber Alles, Swedish five-piece Those Dancing Days' third single is a hard one to pin down.
Sounding like teenage favourite Pink backed by heartbroken pop-peddlers The Research, 'Run Run's' mixture is certainly diverse, but also confused in its direction.
However, all of the crucials are here: a tight beat snapping at the heels of some jerky riffs, cute churchy keyboard scores and unique, rough-edged vocals.
The tin drum sun-drenched B-side 'Home Sweet Home' only strengthens the band's potential, as well as their penchant for experimentation.
Considering two of the line-up have yet to sit their GCSE's (or the Swedish equivalent,) there's no shortage of time and space for Those Dancing Days to find their niche.
