runo plum – Lemon Garland
Today, runo plum is announcing her signing to Winspear (Wishy, Slow Pulp, Teethe), and sharing her first single for the label, a track called “Lemon Garland.”
runo plum has been writing and quietly sharing bedroom dispatches of her intricate folk for a half-decade. The Minnesota-based singer and songwriter steadily caught the ears of a widening circle of listeners during the pandemic years, and soon began independently releasing a series of singles and EPs of soft-edged, radiating indie rock, that landed her tours supporting Angel Olsen, Searows and Hovvdy, and recently saw her booked for Pitchfork London and Paris in the fall.
Recorded in a cabin in rural Vermont with Lutalo, the Minnesota-born, Vermont-based musician and producer fresh off the release of their acclaimed debut The Academy, “Lemon Garland” introduces runo plum through a lush, strummy daze. On the track runo works up an antidote to her malaise, conjuring a daydream of community and companionship filled out with finely layered vocals and the spacious resonance of a 12-string guitar.
Of the track runo says:
This song is me dreaming and longing for friendship. I imagine living in a giant old house in the middle of the woods, hosting my friends and feeling pure bliss. I’ve had little glimpses of this over the past few years but I currently live pretty isolated from the world. There’s a beautiful 12 string on this that adds such fullness to the song, which feels really representative of the community/friendship theme.
To coincide with the release runo is announcing a full UK/EU tour.
