Виниловая пластинка Jeffrey Runnings – Piqued (прозрачный малиновый винил + серебряная пластинка 12") (Релиз 2025)

Some forty years after Runnings and Licher’s correspondence and friendship began, Independent Project Records finds itself in the bittersweet position of releasing Piqued, Runnings’ last album, finalized shortly before the artist passed away at 61 due to Stage 4 cancer. A posthumous release that’s also a celebration of the artist’s lifelong quest for a sound that, stripped to the bones, is all the more powerful and cathartic for its restraint, Piqued was recorded by Runnings at home on an old 8-track cassette machine. It plays just like a late '80s mixtape, lovingly compiled to showcase the beautiful emptiness of post-punk’s more eloquently quiet peaks. The favorites of a lifetime – from Section 25 to The Comsat Angels, from Young Marble Giants to early 4AD singles – are conjured as Runnings’ final songs play. Stark and deadpan on the surface, this is electric guitar music in its most human and vulnerable form. Piqued will be released on July 11, 2025 – available on vinyl (black or transparent magenta), Special Edition CD and digital, it comes with a 4-track EP of rare recordings from the late '80s (two of them previously unreleased).
