Runnner aka LA-based singer/songwriter Noah Weinman has returned with new single, “Bluejay.” The track follows his well received album Like Dying Stars, We’re Reaching Out , now out via Run For Cover. Runnner also has a number of upcoming shows worldwide, including a headlining show in Los Angeles, followed by a UK tour and select dates in France and The Netherlands.

Out today from Run For Cover Records Turnover, Horse Jumper of Love). “Bluejay” is pulled from the same sessions as Like Dying Stars, We’re Reaching Out and offers an extra dose of what makes that record so special. The song features Runnner’s trademark hifi/lofi dynamics, intricate arrangements, and of course Weinman’s warm vocals and inviting melodies.

Since 2017 Weinman has been releasing music as Runnner, and the songwriter has already amassed an impressive catalog of homespun indie folk. Like Dying Stars, We’re Reaching Out follows Runnner’s 2021 collection album, Always Repeating. Lyrically Weinman is often preoccupied with communication and the things that can go unspoken, even between people with a deep emotional bond. The songwriter describes a hectic headspace and the challenges of opening up in a way that feels at once highly specific and deeply relatable, all while the music unfolds in ways that are instantly appealing but reveal themselves even more with each listen.
