Supertato Run, Veggies, Run!

Cult band The Bombay Royale are set for a triumphant return with their third studio masterpiece ‘Run Kitty Run’. A Retro Bollywood fuelled rampage through Psyche-Surf, 80’s Electro-Pop and Desert Rock, ‘Run Kitty Run’ is, like its predecessors, conceived as the soundtrack to a lost film.The music conjures into life a devastated futuristic landscape peopled by robotic horsemen, killer satellites and grinning sadhus. Overlaid with vocals in Hindi, Bengali and English, the resulting soundtrack is one of love and betrayal, hopeless escapes and unlikely salvation.

Claudine Longet's final A&M release bridges the gossamer pop of previous efforts and the fuller, more rock-inspired approach of her Barnaby label recordings. Producer/arranger Nick DeCaro proves a wonderfully sympathetic foil, creating a series of sweet, poignant backings perfect for Longet's girlish vocals. Criticizing her failings as a singer means neglecting her talents as a stylist, and DeCaro clearly understands how to get the most from her unique presence.
