Runnner and Skullcrusher, both folky musicians with misleadingly intense names, are going on tour together this winter. Songwriter Noah Weinman released his new album as Runnner Always Repeating this past July, and for his latest track—in collaboration with future tour mate Helen Ballentine—he repurposes one of its singles, “Urgent Care.”

The reinvented song is titled “Snowplow” and it trades in its syncopated drums for fuzzy synths, Ballentine’s warm vocals, and a banjo. When the two sing the closing line, “The third time this week / That we’ve both been here / At urgent care,” it’s fueled with a new sense of intimacy.

Listen to “Snowplow” below, and keep scrolling for the pair’s tour dates.
