I’m not really sure who Trouble Andrew is, or why he settled upon such an awkward moniker. There’s some talk of him being a professional Canadian snowboarder, but he also happens to make some pretty decent hipster pop.
“Run Hide” is just that; a loud, poppy snare drum driven, modern love song. “Love song” is perhaps a leap of faith on my part, as the hook “Stay to the mornin’, Darlin” isn’t really in the same vein as some of the classics. I’m not sure Marvin Gay would have gotten away with deceleration of a 12 hour commitment but then again, Marvin was never very hipster.
Mr. Trouble Andrew can’t really sing either to be honest, certainly not confidently, but when has that ever mattered? There’s something nice about hearing a performance less than perfect that’s not been auto tuned or multi-tracked to hell. Everything flows really well, and it’s nice to hear something modern done without the need for massive ego, or annoying as hell vocals.
This is what pop trash music should be; something honest, quick and fun – not the bullshit millions endure from 3OH!3, LMFAO or Ke$ha.
