"An album rich in idiosyncratic imagination, oddly charming discordance, and strangely realized beauty." -- Irish Times "Barrett and Hag's original recordings collide, continually retaining a sense that it is all going to fall apart at some point as tumbling military drums collide with crumbling bass like a wasp and bumblebee locked in a mid-air conflict. Its insistent ambition is inspired." -- Drowned In Sound "Bouncing from experimental pop to punkish noise-pop, Giraffe Running show that musicians can be as avant-garde as they like so long as they remember to bring some tunes to the party." -- Metro Giraffe Running is a two-piece instrumental band featuring Greg Barrett and Hag. In December 2003, they recorded five instrumental compositions featuring drums and bass. The tracks were sent to a group of friends and admired musicians with the hope that each person would add their own idea(s) to the original tracks. The resulting double CD was released in Europe in May 2007 on Red-f Records and Learn To Love Records.
