Let's get started with Gleaming's 'Run Faster' review. This music will get your heart beating and your body moving. With a pounding and bass-heavy beat that will have you dancing in no time, it's ideal for a night out at the club. The song is taken from the EP 'We Dissolve'.
The beautifully subtle 80s bells that provide a pleasant touch to 'Run Faster' are one of the song's prominent components. The breaks are snappy and energetic, maintaining a high level of intensity. The song's title, 'Run Faster,' is also included as a vocal sample that functions almost like a harmonic instrument. It's a great addition that contributes to the overall feel of the song.
The vocals in 'Run Faster' are electronically assisted, which is not my preference, but they are so faint that they do not detract from the music or appear irritating. You should absolutely listen to 'Gleaming' if you appreciate dark wave or cold wave music. Their sound is comparable to 'Sextile' and 'Veil Of Light'.

Gleaming about 'Run Faster'
The first single, “Run Faster” touches on this in the most literal sense with lines such as “the phone, the ego, the friends, the future, the body I’m in – all telling me to run”. The second single, “The Ashes”, further alludes to the former self with, “No, Master you are blinded. It’s only you to play the fool”. and “I hope you’re burning. I’ll watch you turn into ashes”.
