Runnner has announced his new album ‘A Welcome Kind Of Weakness’, set for release via Run For Cover Records on 29th August.
The Los Angeles-based project of songwriter Noah Weinman has also shared new single ‘Achilles And’, which follows previous tracks ‘Coinstar’, ‘Spackle’ and ‘Chamomile’.
The album was written during a period of recovery following a torn achilles tendon, combined with the aftermath of a relationship breakdown.
“This one was actually the second song I wrote with Achilles in the title but the only one that made it on the record,” Weinman says of the new single. “It feels a bit like a thesis or an overture for the record in that it lays out all the lyrical and sonic themes pretty obviously. The first Achilles song was more of a solo acoustic ballad, but my mood was calling out for more energy. I think being so cooped up and so still made me wanna rock out even more, so I started writing faster and bouncier songs until I arrived at this one.”
