Runo Plum | 3.11.25 | Live
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.
Her new single “Lemon Garland” was 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.
