Recorded in 2005 but not released until 2012, Run had Carla Bozulich and drummer Ches Smith, a regular performer with Bozulich in various solo and group efforts throughout the 21st century, exploring a series of improvisatory compositions and songs recorded, per the credits, ‘mostly in living rooms.’ The feeling is loose and easy, with Bozulich’s instruments of choice being piano and sampler; her vocals feel relaxed for the most part, but not entirely, as her explosive moments on “Elements Ascending” and commanding tone on the title track show.
