Ran Away - Compound Red

Ran Away - Compound Red
3:43
Written by Compound Red

This DIY band from Wisconsin broke up in 1999, and this song was only released on a cassette on no label, but thanks to the magic of Spotify, everyone around the world can enjoy its lo-fi ambition.  It's got a jangly, slightly dissonant post-punk that carries a whiff of early-90s slacker energy.  The production is strictly garage-level, but the attitude level is high.  The singer turns his high, strident voice into a punchy growl at the ends of the lines, the guitars shimmer, while the drummer is positively cracking away at the kit.
