He’s heralded as one of the country’s most enigmatic master-of-all trades. Today Running Touch embarks on a new era with the release of ‘Lost’ , his first new music in 2 years.
A fiercely versatile talent and one our hottest exports, Running Touch refuses to be boxed into any style or genre.
‘Lost’ is a deep, expansive slice of dance-pop. Set to deceptively sunny synth stabs and guitar licks, Running Touch’s searching, soulful vocal tells the story of getting swept away by lust, and the claustrophobia that follows as the fire burns out and the relationship feels hollow.
Inspired by mixed media, poetry, literature, movie scripts and travels, Running Touch’s lyrics are sincere and emotive, imbuing personal observations with the drama and romance found in the finest works of art. His music is brooding, dark and sexy as often as it is heartfelt, highly danceable and frequently fun. It’s the sound of a real one giving it everything he’s got, unafraid to push the boundaries as he boldly navigates unexplored terrain.
For the official video, Director CIAN Marangos worked with Running Touch to bring his concepts to life. Having performed ‘Lost’ live on tour with Chase Atlantic, Running Touch says of his new video, “I had to suddenly go overseas so this video happened in the space of a few days from end to end. It really forced it to be authentic and fun.
A lot of what’s to come is visually influenced by my roots and just having a good time, So the ideas that I came up with were based around hardcore/heavy music, my Polish heritage and my friends.
Shot and edited by the incredible Cian Marangos. Cian is a visionary and cut from a different cloth. When things go through his filter and his mind – it will end up beyond your expectations.”
The ‘Lost’ video features friends and band mates, including the likes of Ocean Grove and Adult Art Club.
After a period of profound growth as a person and musician, the Running Touch project is now at its most fully formed, with an enhanced focus on vocals and live performance and a determined step into the spotlight. His years of playing in live bands arming him with the confidence to rock a captivated crowd. Marrying his well-honed studio and performance skills with the unmatched energy and raw emotion of the hardcore scene he cut his teeth in, RT has come full circle in 2024.
Next month Running Touch returns to the stage performing his new live show at Yours and Owls Festival on Oct 12th in Wollongong.
