On February 26th 2016, Run River North will release Drinking From A Salt Pond, the follow up LP to their 2013 self-titled debut. Working with producer Lars Stalfors (Cold War Kids, Deap Vally, HEALTH, Matt and Kim), the band leave behind its familiar folksy roots to craft an ambitious rock album.
“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 frontman Alex Hwang.
Run River North is Alex Hwang (lead vocals, guitars), Daniel Chae (vocals, strings), Jennifer Rim (strings), Joe Chun (bass, vocals), John Chong (drums, vocals) and Sally Kang (vocals, keyboards).
The band’s self-titled debut album debuted at #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Produced by Phil Ek (Built To Spill, The Shins, Father John Misty), NPR writes, “Run River North stays the course – and finds success,” and Esquire hails, “Because modern folk this richly layered has a high degree of difficulty. And [Run River North] nail the landing.”
With a nearly sold-out debut North American headline tour, the band has been performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, VH-1 “Big Morning Buzz,” CMT “Concrete Country,” Last Call With Carson Daly, and Emmy-winning PBS series Artbound. All this follows features with The Wall Street Journal, NPR Weekend Edition, NPR Here & Now, Entertainment Weekly, American Songwriter, Daytrotter, American Way, KPCC 89.3Southern CA Public Radio and TeamCoco, the official website of Conan.
