Our Take

Claire Birchall’s latest offering, “Running in Slow Motion,” is a sonic journey that is as exhilarating as it is disorienting. The Australian singer-songwriter has crafted a collection of tracks that seem to defy the laws of physics, effortlessly floating between dreamy pop melodies and gritty rock riffs. Birchall’s ethereal vocals are the driving force behind the album, effortlessly gliding over intricate instrumentals that blend elements of shoegaze, folk, and psychedelia. The opening track, “Gravity's Pull,” sets the tone for the rest of the record, with its swirling guitars and pulsating rhythm section creating a sense of weightlessness that is both mesmerising and unsettling. Tracks like “Lost in the Moment” and “Fading Fast” showcase Birchall’s ability to create lush soundscapes that envelop the listener in a warm, hazy glow. The shimmering production, courtesy of renowned producer Alex Somers, adds an extra layer of depth to the already rich sonic tapestry. However, the album is not without its flaws. At times, Birchall’s lyrics veer into cliched territory, with tired tropes about love and loss overshadowing the more innovative aspects of her songwriting. Additionally, some tracks drag on for a tad too long, making it easy for listeners to lose interest. Overall, “Running in Slow Motion” is a bold and ambitious effort from Claire Birchall, showcasing her undeniable talent and vision as an artist. While it may not be perfect, its moments of brilliance make it a worthwhile listen for anyone craving a musical adventure.
