Woodkid is Yoann Lemoine, a director who has made videos for Yelle, Moby, Katy Perry and Lana Del Rey. So to hear him jumping into the realm of creating music is certainly exciting, and “Run Boy Run” doesn’t even begin to disappoint.
The song sounds incredibly cinematic, and instantly reminds me of Johnny Cash or The National. The multi-faceted instrumentation can’t help but evoke amazing and inspirational visuals in my mind…pretty sure this should be in the score for some multi-zillion-dollar Hollywood film.
