Runnner "A Welcome Kind of Weakness" out today

US tour dates through October

Today, Runnner (Los Angeles-based songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Noah Weinman) has released his sophomore full-length, A Welcome Kind of Weakness. The album 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.

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."

Preorder A Welcome Kind of Weakness

A Welcome Kind of Weakness emerged from a simultaneous tear in Weinman’s body and life. Written during months of bedrest and recovery from a torn achilles tendon, compounded by the drastic upheaval of a breakup, the album feels defined by change and fittingly, Runnner’s sound has undergone a drastic sonic shift to accompany it. The result is Runnner's first studio-recorded album, a propulsive, high fidelity document of trying to move past physical and emotional pain to come out the other side stronger and bolder than ever.

2025 will also see Runnner returning to the road with a lengthy schedule of North American tour dates, as well as select UK in-store dates. See full itinerary below.
