It was released via Constellation on February 2, 2015. The album is the third installment in the proposed 12-part Coin Coin album series, in which it was preceded by Mississippi Moonchile (2013) and followed by Memphis (2019). The series, named after Marie Thérèse Coincoin, is an exploration of African-American history, the Civil rights movement, the roots of American slavery, Roberts' familial ancestry, and more. River Run Thee's instrumentation was performed by only Roberts. The album was recorded in Hotel2Tango in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. While Roberts mostly uses her voice and saxophone on the album, she also uses elements of spoken word, field recordings, drones, and effects pedals. River Run Thee includes various samples and quotations, including ones from a 1965 Malcolm X lecture, a homeless woman in Jackson, Mississippi, and "The Star-Spangled Banner". River Run Thee received positive reviews from multiple publications, including Rolling Stone, Tiny Mix Tapes, Pitchfork, and AllMusic, and received mixed reviews from others, including Exclaim!. The album was ranked at number six on Pitchfork's list of "The Best Experimental Albums of 2015" and at number 15 on Rolling Stone's list of the "20 Best Avant Albums of 2015". (en)
