JAWNY has returned with his propulsive new single “Running”, the second since his widely beloved debut album, It’s Never Fair, Always True. Following the jaunty, whimsical “Boy Scout”, “Running” is a head-bopping yet solemn groove, and a mellow reflection on past regrets. Listen to the song now below.
Co-written and produced by JAWNY and Jamie Sierota, “Running” dips into the usual psychedelic rock tune but with an introspective look backwards, expanding JAWNY’s already varied and accomplished alt-pop catalogue. In “Running,” JAWNY ruminates on past friendships in this anthematic reflection of actions and consequences. In the video, directed by Liam Archibald, the kaleidoscopic rhythm is visualized by riffs of Archibald’s signature animation style, a surrealist technicolor dream.
After his jam-packed headline tour around North America and Europe, JAWNY is entering 2024 firing on all creative cylinders. Just as experimental as “Boy Scout” but with an altogether separate style, vocals, and theme, “Running” is a heartfelt contribution to JAWNY’s repertoire. In affirmation of JAWNY’s accomplishments, “Running” was synced to Season 8 of HBO’s Hard Knocks: In Season with the Miami Dolphins.
