Ohr presents: Runaway
The video and the single is one of the most creatives pieces of art in this august
Ahead of the release of Ohr's upcoming album Afterglow on Friday 8/30, the bright-hued Seattle electronic outfit shares the new single "Runaway" along with a stunning animated video directed and created by Studio Sparks.
Press release:
From Craig Klein aka Ohr: "Runaway is about connection and submitting ourselves to the wild and uncertain path of navigating life with another human. Musically I was really inspired by the driving quality. and directness of early House records and the out front vocal samples that often tied everything together.
I play a lot with side chain processing which carves out space for the kick, but sometimes leads to unexpected results especially on how all of the sequences in this track duck around each other.
As I’ve gotten older I’ve been a lot less concerned with being cool or obfuscating my intentions and I’m in a place now where I’m comfortable enough in my skin to write something as direct as Runaway."
Klein, who records music under the name Ohr and formerly fronted The Race, was deep into the recording of his new album, Afterglow, when his father got sick and died unexpectedly. It all happened in the span of a month, and Klein found himself reeling. “It rocked my world,” the songwriter recalls. “All I could really do to keep from losing it was to just work on music.”
The new album comes Friday 8/30.
