runo plum began independently releasing a series of singles and EPs that landed her tours supporting Angel Olsen, Searows and Hovvdy. Last month, runo announced her signing to Winspear, who will release her debut LP, patching that the label will release on November 14th.

Together with collaborator, instrumentalist and girlfriend Noa Francis, runo and her co-producer Lutalo recorded the album in a cabin in rural Vermont over the course of two weeks. Centering the honeyed, time-worn timbre of a centenarian acoustic guitar and the easeful warmth of runo’s voice, the trio began putting together the pieces one by one. “It was just flowing,” runo says. “Every song is an emotional fragment during my healing process patched together into one project, while I was also patching myself together in real time. You can feel the damage, but also the repair. The slowing down in order to move forward, and the dreaming of a time where I’m finally free from the dread.”

To celebrate the news of the new album, runo is sharing the album’s lead single “sickness”. The track deals in unhealthy cycles and mundanity. Underbellied by anxiety.

runo says of the track:

“This song could be taken in many ways, literally or metaphorically. It’s about falling ill of many kinds, the common cold, perhaps lovesickness, but whatever it may be: you heal through it. This was the first song we worked on, and it came together really seamlessly.”
