“Brighton’s SoftTop share the orchestral, waltzing anthemia of new
single ‘Runaway’ via cult label Crafting Room Recordings (Ellis-D).
Creatively spearheaded by keyboardist/vocalist Miles Goodall, and featuring musicians/producers of beloved Brighton acts like Hutch, Ideal Living and TINMAN in its seven-piece ensemble - SoftTop’s sophomore single is dazzlingly ambitious in scope, in spite of the band’s knowingly humble appearances. Mingling the melodic sensuousness of a Matt Maltese ballad with fluorescent arrangements of Grizzly Bear, layer after orchestral layer build themselves upon intimate R & B-tinged melody before exploding into the sonorous riches of massed vocal harmonies, cascading drums and gut-wrenching emotion.”
