Knock-kneed and grinning toothily, Runnner's latest single 'Coinstar' brings bucketfuls of charm to the table, hearty like grandma's porridge and bearing the weight of a thousand emotions on its shoulders like it was second nature.
While the vocals drawl like honey, Weinman's lyricism is seasoned with such authenticity that each line feels sharp, daring almost. 'Coinstar' follows a spree of gentle releases, soft in its own right, but there's a progressive quality to it that sheds a bright light on the future of Runnner. It's unlike anything else.
An offering this thick with chords and organically confessional begs reference to the warm arms of a quiet life. There's artistry in the way Weinman encapsulates such snug tones within a big studio sound, breathing life into every limb and marvelling when it stands giant before him.
