Eggsistential Thoughts (An Interview w/ Runnner)

Runnner's latest EP, Fan On, ironically feels like the exact moment the fan turns off: that brief silence where you become aware of the sound of your own mental machinery. It's in this meditative space that Fan On thrives, scoring the mundane day-to-day through ennui-drenched lenses. Fusing pop, folk, jazz and rock, Runnner has created a sound so drowsy and robust it'll swallow you whole, into an atmosphere as refreshing as it is nostalgic, as vintage as it is vibrant. Banjo rolls, sax swells and smart, emotive lyricism perfectly paint velvety vignettes of household anxiety, frenetically and fluidly floating from room to room. Whether it's the cyclical transience of subletting, the enticing, yet ultimately unsatisfying notion of turning 18, or imbuing the entire existential experience in the cracking of an eggshell, Runnner has cultivated a gorgeous soundtrack to growing up and moving through life.
