Runnner (Los Angeles-based songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Noah Weinman) is releasing his sophomore full-length, A Welcome Kind of Weakness, this Friday, August 29th. Today he's sharing one more early taste of the album, the absolutely soaring, "Claritin."  

Weinman discussed the new song saying:

"It’s kind of about allergies. But mostly I think it’s just asking a question of whether I’d prefer to feel it all if it means feeling bad, or choose to feel nothing at all. It was a very fun one to record. It’s less band-y than the other songs and maybe more similar to older Runnner songs where I throw a bunch of random instruments together and see what works. The slide lead is my car key on a guitar with one string, which was recorded in a much older session with my friend Daniel, who so graciously gave me the stem to fly into this version."

A Welcome Kind of Weakness finds Runnner diving into a widescreen sound reminiscent of the early 2000s indie rock boom. "Claritin" conjures up the nostalgia of early Coldplay or Band of Horses and revitalizes them with a modern indie folk spin. The track follows a non-stop run of earlier singles including "Get Real Sleep," "Achilles And," "Coinstar," "Spackle," "Chamomile," and "Untitled October Song", and offers one more reason to look forward to hearing A Welcome Kind of Weakness in full on Friday.
