Fresh off the back of their latest album, The Response pivot sharply with Where Do You Run To?

It’s a bold left turn for the Christchurch duo, embracing a grittier, more propulsive sound without losing their melodic touch. Fueled by fuzzed-out guitar hooks and a beat that struts more than sprints, it’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you. There’s a swagger in the way Victoria’s bass drives the track, it’s steady, confident, and impossible to sit still to.

Lyrically, Andy Knopp drops cryptic lines like breadcrumbs, while the chorus - big, bold, and custom-built for a room full of voices - drives it home. Rather than rush headlong, Where Do You Run To? holds its nerve, letting its momentum build and simmer. It’s controlled, but kinetic.

A track that keeps moving forward and takes you with it.
