Posted by VMan on September 18, 2021
If you have not heard of Running Touch, now is the time to get acquainted. “Ceilings,” is now out and gives a sliver of understanding as to why this solo artist has been in such demand in the late 2010’s and now going forward. “Ceilings,” shares many club-friendly elements within it, from the eased- ticking of the 128 BPM house tempo to the light organ chords and notes. The aspects are certainly charming, but it’s the vocals that truly make this work stand out.
Running Touch shares more behind “Ceilings,” below:
“I thought the verses to be all the questions and problems, the chorus to be this disregard for those things and the release. It flourishes. Cycles – just like we experience. The name ‘Ceilings’ is a reference to our subconscious, all the unsolved feelings and tensions that dictate us.”
– Running Touch
As the quote shares, Running Touch clearly looks inward when it comes to the ‘why’ behind the music. His artist direction and creative output is easy to latch on to, for surface level reasons as well as very introspective reasons too.
“Ceilings,” is available to listen to in full above. If digging what is heard, he’s got a thick catalog to fall back that certainly stands the test of time.
