LA-based Run River North will release “Drinking From A Salt Pond,” on 20th January 2017 in the UK, thefollow up LP to 2014’s acclaimed self-titled debut. Working with producer Lars Stalfors (Cold War Kids, Deap Vally, HEALTH, Matt and Kim), the band leaves behind its familiar folk roots to craft a stunning and ambitious rock album.

During the writing of Drinking From A Salt Pond, the band admits to flaring tempers and tense operations as they worked to redefine their sound, goals and relationships. Embracing their natural growth, Run River North lean on each other and learn to trust themselves along the way in order to make something brutally honest, lasting and truly beautiful.

“This album embodies, more distinctly, the voices of each member of the band. The first album was about my view of family, home and the world and the rest of the band responding to these stories. This album is everyone’s individual responses to our collective self-reflection – with each member speaking through their respective instruments to express the relationships within the band rather than my folk stories wrapped in harmonies and swells,” says lead singer Alex Hwang.

Watch the official music video for “Run Or Hide,” taken from the new album. Written about the quiet voices of fear that lurk on the fringes of one’s thoughts and when confronted, the choices we make to pacify them.

“The sophomore effort from Run River North, is a sonic evolution from their self-titled debut. Feistier lyrics render a little less Of Monsters and Men and a little more Cold War Kids.” – Los Angeles Magazine

“On their best songs the musical clamour and lyrics about identity and roots create real drama, as these Korean-Californians tied to the past attempt to forge for themselves a new future.” – The Guardian

“…an evolution from the band’s folk roots straight into full-blown anthemic rock. I challenge you to sit still while you listen. Not gonna happen.” – Pas
