Runo Plum Preps Bloom Again EP (SXSW Artist)

Before the announcement of the Bloom Again EP, RayRay and I already had Runo Plum on our artist to watch list for SXSW, and while there are a handful of sets on the schedule, I’m thinking a quiet room in the sunny afternoon might be the best way to soak up the newest track. The dominating force, aside from the vocals, is the heavy-handed strum on the guitar, allowing for this sort of billowing loneliness to embrace a natural beauty. As the tune trickles, I think the slightest bit of arrangement is what allows the weight of the music to really sit with the listener; it’s careful and minimalist, only rising for support when necessary. Looking forward to a few sets, as well as the Bloom Again EP, which is out on May 8th via Winspear.
