"How do you move forward when the present moment is rife with mounting challenges -- when you're caught between the weight of the past and the uncertainty of the future? Running From the Chase was written in part through a time of intense personal hardship for Harrington, but it was through these struggles he and his bandmates gained a deeper appreciation of the power of their shared creative endeavor, both the cathartic release found in the dynamic squall of their music and in the friendships forged by this communal pursuit. Their album doesn't have an easy answer to Harrington's searching question, but under these songs' bruising exteriors, you can hear the sound of a band looking towards one another to learn how to move forward. "Running From the Chase" was recorded with producer and engineer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Snail Mail, Angel Olsen) at Asheville's Drop of Sun Studios through the spring and summer of 2022. Farrar immediately made them feel right at home, which allowed the band to bring a sense of curiosity, commitment, and experimentation to the process. Dynamics were considered in songwriting as well as sequencing; off- kilter "77x" builds an eerie scene over a minimal slowcore foundation before the following track "Clover" thrusts into a playful headbanger. Throughout "Running From the Chase" -- whose title alludes to the need to balance one's individual desires with external expectations and pressures -- Harrington's lyrics plunge into despair and frustration, confronting possibilities with a hint of hope and a strong undercurrent of dejection. The result is an album that's sweeping and sophisticated, balancing considered introspection with a stunning, newly expanded sound."
