LISTEN: Dead Confederate - "Run From the Gun"

MP3: Dead Confederate - "Run From the Gun"

It's got a hint of the band's Southern roots, but has a bit more of a britpop influence running through it. It starts off on a back porch, overlooking an empty field and works its way towards a flourish of moving strings and quiet slide guitar that evoke imagery of a sky lit up by the moon. It's a laid back, contemplative number that sounds perfect for looking out a window during a rainstorm or driving off, eyes set on the horizon. The muffled acoustics and addition of strings/keys make it the type of song that would be a great soundtrack for riding the train, watching the countryside fly by the window.

"Run From the Gun" is from Dead Confederate's new album Sugar which is out this Tuesday, August 24.

After the jump, see the band's upcoming tour dates and watch the band get instruments pulled out of their bodies in the video for Sugar's "Giving It All Away".
