SAN GABRIEL REFLECTS ON POST-WHISKEY SHIVERS FAME IN NEW SINGLE “RUNNING OUT OF TIME”
POV: you made a career in the ever-competitive music industry, collaborating on massive projects like Pitch Perfect 3 while finding your footing in a band called Whiskey Shivers. Then, your reality bends after a life-altering medical diagnosis changes your perspective of…everything. Enter San Gabriel, a project forged out of uncertainty and creative urgency. Their new single, “Running Out Of Time,” asks an age-old question without answering it.
Sadly, we’ll never know if we’re running out of time. Life is simultaneously predictable and spontaneous, and whether that is a blessing or a curse is up for interpretation. San Gabriel’s take suggests that it can be both at once; do what you want while you’re still here, to the tune of ethereal synth sounds and satisfying electronic drum beats.
His vocal tones are soothing, ambient, and existential, pairing perfectly with the lyrical themes. You can hear the energetic catharsis that came with writing this single. It was necessary for San Gabriel, especially as he was navigating such a tumultuous personal struggle.
Moreover, “Running Out Of Time” is just plain catchy. It’s an existential crisis set to the world’s grooviest 4/4 drum machine beat, and it will be stuck in your head from your first listen onward.
