    Track by Track is a recurring feature series in which artists guide readers through every song on their latest release. Today, Truth Club take us through their latest record, Running from the Chase.


    Indie rock up-and-comers Truth Club return today (October 6th) with their sophomore effort, Running from the Chase, out via Double Double Whammy. A noisy, mesmerizing, beautiful collection of 12 enthralling songs, Running from the Chase arrives as the band’s latest exercise in poignantly rebelling against mundanity, despair, and bouts with mental health.

    Whether the band is attempting to make as much noise as physically possible (“Blue Eternal”), playing it soft and sweet (“Exit Cycle” featuring Indigo De Souza), or managing to swing between the two (“Siphon,” “Break the Stones”), Truth Club sound invigorated, creative, and at the top of their game. They’ve expanded upon the groundwork of their debut, Not an Exit, mining more drastic dynamics and grander emotions than ever before.

    “We’ve played around with a couple different arrangements, dynamics-wise, which has kept it feeling fresh and exciting to bring to the stage,” drummer Elise Jaffe says of the title track. “While we were still in the early stages of writing Running from the Chase, I remember our friend Max Gowan saying that it felt like ‘a new type of Truth Club song’ had just been unlocked.”

    Each new cut shows the band “unlocking” new avenues to explore, new heights to climb. It’s the sound of a young band with no shortage of engaging ideas, and they seemed poised to go nowhere but up.
