Synth Single Review: “Caught in Between” by Out Runner

by Karl Magi

Out Runner’s “Caught in Between” explores a complicated web of love as it unfolds. The track commences as a scintillating synth billows out with caressing sensations while a solidly guiding rhythm rebounds above a bass tide. The guitar is silky smooth and broadcasts pained affection in Out Runner’s talented hands, slipping through the music like fingers running gently through a lover’s hair.

A synth sparkles like new love above the lushly growing foundation and background glow. The main melody is soothing like a lover’s touch on your skin as the underpinnings press on. I feel tension drop away for a moment as I contemplate the track’s ardent emotion. As a sweeping sound slides past, a more intense feeling fills the music with conflicted caring while the underlayer moves forward.

Out Runner plays a solo that encapsulates both the desire and the complexity of the emotion within the track, his skillful fingers weaving intricate patterns. The drums continue to rebound before the track breathes quietly out into silence.
