Florence-based synth-pop trio Out Run delve into haunting emotional territory with their latest single, “Dying to Know” — a shimmering, slow-burning ode to absence and memory. Anchored by lush synths, crisp electronic percussion, and frontwoman Ginevra Abbarchini’s intimate vocals, the track evokes the dreamy melancholy of acts like Chromatics and Cigarettes After Sex, while remaining distinctly their own.
Built on minimal yet cinematic production, “Dying to Know” captures the weight of unanswered questions and the lingering ache of lost connection. The refrain, “Where did you go?” lands like a whisper and a wound — subtle but cutting. The band’s signature “80s 3.0” aesthetic is on full display here: nostalgic, romanticised, and emotionally immersive.
Following the success of their breakout single “Monster,” which crossed a million streams, “Dying to Know” deepens Out Run’s identity as purveyors of dreamy, synth-driven storytelling. With their debut EP on the horizon, the trio is quickly cementing themselves as key voices in the new wave of modern synthpop.
