It is the first day of a new season, and Autumn has arrived. Following on from January’s release of the bright and energized Spring, this latest track sees Melbourne band RUN‘s sound venture down a darker and notably colder path as another page of its latest vision is revealed.
“The lyrics to this song are mostly quite blunt, but to be clear it is a reflection on the suicide of a friend,” shares vocalist Lochlan Watt of the latest track. “RUN’s operative word is bittersweet and I think this song embodies that better than anything else we’ve done so far. I hope people can find some catharsis and hope in it. This one is for SK.”
Catch up on highlights from the band’s recent 16-show Australian tour with The Amity Affliction, Alpha Wolf and Terminal Sleep in the new video for Autumn, filmed by Scott Kaufman and edited by Patrick Kearney.
While RUN’s previous studio collaboration, the 2023 single Everyone’s Cancelled, Everything’s Cancer, introduced a full lineup while spitting out the resentment from prior years to create a fresh slate, the track also saw the band go on to tour around the country with Deafheaven, Hexis, and Earth Caller.
Now completed by fellow veteran musicians guitarists Lewis Noke-Edwards and Arron Parker Richards, drummer Adrian Horsman and bassist/vocalist Benn Gaylor, RUN sits upon a new bundle of self-produced, bittersweet crushers that shine bright thanks to the glorious mix of Forrester Savell (Karnivool).
RUN will return to the stage this May supporting the eclectic and emotionally charged British post-hardcore/metal band Svalbard on their debut Australian tour.
