Raleigh, North Carolina indie rockers Truth Club have announced their next album, Running from the Chase, due for release on October 6th via Double Double Whammy. Along with today’s announcement comes the new single “Exit Cycle,” which features Indigo De Souza, as well as a run of 2023 tour dates.
Truth Club have enjoyed a steady ascent since the release of their 2019 debut LP Not an Exit. Since then, the band’s three original members — singer/guitarist Travis Harrington, drummer Elise Jaffe, and guitarist/bassist Kameron Vann — added guitarist/bassist and singer Yvonne Chazal to their lineup, with a goal to “hold space for criticism, critique, input, and inspiration from the rest of the band in any context” while making their new record.
One critique Harrington felt of “Exit Cycle” was that it “needed another voice.” So, he called on De Souza — his longtime friend and fellow North Carolinian — whose poignant croon offers some welcome added depth to the slowcore-inspired tune.
“It has the most ambitious vocal arrangement we’ve ever attempted, and through this arrangement, I was finally able to collaborate with one of my oldest friends and constant sources of inspiration,” Harrington adds in a statement. “The emotional path of the song parallels the journey of writing it: It begins in the most private and insular place, and finally grows into a joyfully collective outpour.”
Truth Club have a few headlining tour dates in North America this October, supplementing their supporting run with Squirrel Flower.
