IndieBird Studio - Not just music, a movement.

Los Angeles–based multi-instrumentalist and creative force Noah Weinman—better known as Runnner—makes a striking return to the indie rock universe with his May 2025 single, “Chamomile.” Departing from the lo-fi, home-recorded textures of his earlier work, this track offers a crisper, more vibrant production that maps out a personal journey toward self-assurance. 🎶 Why It Resonates Sonic Evolution: “ Chamomile ” carries the expansive feel of 2000s indie rock.
