Last year, Belgian expat Nic Cogels formed Why We Run after packing up shop and shifting his life from Brussels to Sydney. The mesmeric four-piece meld the lush, stirring approach of artists like Osca or St. Sleep with the melancholic edge of bands like City Calm Down or The National to seriously impressive effect.
Why We Run’s latest single “Where I’ll Be Waiting” continues the raw, jarring sound of previous successes like “A Moment To Return”, “Ignites” and their debut hit “Comfortable Lie”. Kicking off on a thumping Boxer Rebellion-inspired beat and spritely guitars, the track kicks it up a notch with the arrival of an addictive chorus that will grab you right from the get go. Cogels and the boys know exactly what they’re doing…
Why We Run’s forthcoming debut album is due to arrive in June. Until then, fall in love with “Where I’ll Be Waiting” below:
