It’s nearing midnight. You’re in a cramped car full of friendly faces. Everyone goes quiet, and you realize the air is getting foggy. Then “DTF” drops, and suddenly all differentiation disappears.
Brandon Biondo knows how to craft perfectly pulsing electro dance/chill jams so well it will have your head spinning. As far as I’m concerned, the guy is unstoppable, and nearly completely unique in music making, COOLRUNNINGS and Walsh alike.
Go pick up this awesome EP “Smoke Weed About It” for FREE at bandcamp. You will have a really hard time regretting it.
Brandon Biondo has no constraints as to what kind of music he can produce. Woozy, dream-wave in this case, dark and driving in others, or just plain cruising USA in others.
COOLRUNNINGS’ master of ceremonies graced us with a sweet side project track (and video) a couple weeks ago, and he just dropped this new one onto his Soundcloud this morning. Tape warble, lazy sunset surf guitar and lullaby hums. Meow.

Blog bro Nathaniel Whitcomb from Think or Smile gives us an insane first try at video making. He sent it over to me this morning, and I should’ve known it was gonna be top notch. Brandon Biondo’s song goes perfectly with this 1935 cartoon. And luckily Nathaniel had the eyes to see it. If you don’t already keep up with Think or Smile, you need to. Nathaniel has a knack for knowing how to do just about everything well.
Here’s what he says about the video:
A story of blissed out gnomes who have the ability to distill sunshine and bottle it. Provoked by haters, the gnomes go to battle with goblin buzz killers. After a dip in sunshine juice the goblins are soon doing the happy dance.
