Every Wednesday, the ugly hug shares a playlist personally curated by an artist/band that we have been enjoying. This week, we have a collection of songs put together by Travis Harrington and Kameron Vann of Truth Club.

Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Truth Club released their critically acclaimed sophomore record Running From the Chase late last year, showing both individual and collective growth for a band revitalizing their creative process and collaborative instincts. Through dark interludes and commendable twist and turns, Running From the Chase is patient, building tension from restraint and release from introspection. It’s heavy, smart, fresh and fulfilling – a NC album through and through, embracing both a community and a band at the top of their game.

To accompanying their playlist, Travis shared a statement about how the songs came together;

“I’m pretty uninitiated when it comes to curating playlists and unfortunately am the kind of person who is on my phone in traffic searching for songs, but this was fun to put together! Kam and I are moving in with Yvonne right now, so we’re kind of scrambled. These are some songs we’ve been bumping around the house while lifting furniture and unpacking boxes. Good kinesis embedded within, lots of push and pull.”
