Pairing folk-ready mystique with relatable lyrical ruminations on coming to terms with one’s life, “Running Out Of Time” is a memorable new track from And The Broken, a band based in Malmö, Sweden. Arriving after a year-long break for the band, this release marks the first single from And The Broken’s upcoming album Changes. Citing influences like Great Lake Swimmers, First Aid Kit, and Calexico — the latter of which is particularly reminiscent in the track’s use of trumpet — the band consumes with their stylish, climactic sound.
Debonair, hypnotic verses — propelled by moody acoustics and stately piano — traverse seamlessly into a more expressive outpouring. “Running out of time these days, running out of words and things to say,” the vocals let out there, capturing the sensation of fleeting moments within life, and the difficulty in pursuing one’s passions within it all. A riveting trumpet-driven flair arrives at the track’s mid-point, providing further captivating tonal dynamics. “Running Out Of Time” is a fantastic piece of songwriting from And The Broken, succeeding with an introspective thematic prowess and a melodic allure across both contemplative verses and a magnetic title-touting central hook. “Running Out Of Time” has us thoroughly anticipating And The Broken’s upcoming full-length.
