Run Logan Run – “Skew Yew” (Audio)
Digital Single
Ankh Sanctuary – Oct. 21, 2025
*Run Logan Run – “Skew Yew” https://play.cdnstream1.com/s/kcrw/today-s-top-tune/monday-nov-10-run-logan-745d90 // Bristolian Nu Jazz vanguard, Run Logan Run are back with ‘LV:HRD’ (Love Hard) — the second EP in their trilogy series. This one hits hard: industrial textures, analog grit, and computer-controlled chaos. This track “Skew Yew” stands out; a heavy, hypnotic groove drenched in reverb and distortion — proof that the duo’s jazz spirit thrives in the machinery.*
