Run For Cover marks the second track to be shared by the Brighton four-piece in 2020, following Beaches in July. It finds the band delivering a bone-rattling, driving sound that shakes to fervent rumbling bass and a dominant Izzy B. Phillips vocal performance.
The song was written with friend Mike Kerr of Royal Blood following their 2017 tour together. Expanding on it, Phillips said:
"Run For Cover is about the nuances in sex. It’s fun but on a bit of a knife edge of risk and weird. Sex can be clumsy, emotional and complex. There’s so much baggage that it comes with. We wrote the song from a man’s perspective. It felt empowering to flip it to the female gaze. I think I’m exploring both power and my weakness in equal measure. We wanted it to sound manic – like Hives meets John Travolta, hips swinging. I love this song. I hope it makes women find themselves and dump their boyfriends.”
The band released their self-titled debut album in 2018.
