[The] Caseworker - National Runner
About this YouTube video
Video by Joe Macken.
Text from Hidden Shoal Recordings:
The new single 'National Runner' by garage-dreampop trio [The] Caseworker.
With 'National Runner', [The] Caseworker have an instant pop classic on their hands. The song's consummate balance of drone and chime features a heady mix of hypnotic guitars and driving rhythm section, all perfectly offset by Conor Devlin's starry-eyed vocal. Learning that the track is an ode to famed Ethiopian Olympic long-distance runner Miruts Yifter makes all the more sense after being doused in its heady atmosphere.
'National Runner' opens the band's third album Letters From The Coast, which sees [The] Caseworker continue to deliver their own unique sonic magic. The album has the feel of a shoegazing Velvet Underground reared by the Flying Nun label, creating an enigmatic intimacy and atmosphere, which the band wrap around immaculately crafted pop songs like smoke. Perfectly intoxicating.
"[The] Caseworker extract darkness from inside whispery, ambient pop... completely enraptured and awesomely dazed" -- Rolling Stone
