Runnner has announced his second album ‘A Welcome Kind Of Weakness’

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.”
