Runner is the second single from Chicago-based band Kaput, a fresh group whose sound channels the fervor of forward-thinking post punk. The band's music nods to the experimental spirit of no wave, merging avant-garde elements with a surprising ease which makes for a rather engaging listen.
"Runner is a song filled frantic percussion racing alongside matter of fact vocals and a dance ready bass line," the band unfolds. "We love to experiment and play in our writing all while still being accessible. On this song we were very much inspired by the bands like Talking Heads and ESG."
Kaput consist of producer and engineer Brian Fox (Electrical Audio), Nadia Garofalo (Heavy Feelings, formerly of Ganser), and featuring M. Sord (Jon Spencer and the Hitmakers) on drums. The band is looking forward to releasing their debut album in early 2025.
