Southern Lord confirms the newest addition to the label's ever-morphing roster, as North Carolina-based trio Torch Runner signs on for the release of an impending second LP, which is presently under construction. The label comments:

"Torch Runner is currently finalizing their newest works at Legitimate Business in Greensboro, North Carolina with Kris Hilbert at the control board. Upon completion, it will be fitted with original arty by Fernando Pena at No Prophet Dead Press, which is in its final stages as well, and prepared for public disbursement via Southern Lord."
