Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter runo plum releases her debut album, patching.
Inspired by a breakup and the journey that followed, patching is an album of heartbreak and healing. runo’s aching voice weaves around confessional lyrics within a space of hurt and reflection. Beyond the heartbreak, patching explores friendship, social anxiety, and the unexpected return of love.
runo worked with Vermont-based musician and producer Lutalo and collaborator, instrumentalist, and girlfriend Noa Francis in the creation of patching. The trio recorded the album over two weeks in a cabin in rural Vermont.
runo reflects on the process behind patching, sharing:
“It was just flowing. Every song is an emotional fragment during my healing process patched together into one project, while I was also patching myself together in real time. You can feel the damage, but also the repair. The slowing down in order to move forward, and the dreaming of a time where I’m finally free from the dread.”
patching is an introspective album about growth, and a quiet reminder that hope can still be found in the aftermath of heartbreak.
