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.
