Modern Age Music Song of the Day: Black Honey – ‘Run For Cover’

Black Honey have followed up on July single ‘Beaches’, with latest fuzzed-out indie banger ‘Run For Cover’.

Frontwoman Izzy B. Phillips explains of the new track: “’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.”
