Porridge Radio have shared details of their fourth album, Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me.
Spanning 11 tracks, the record is inspired by “burnout, the music industry, heartbreak” and more, according to a press release. In a statement, band leader Dana Margolin said: “Almost all the songs started out as poems.”
She added: “A lot of this album is about a more frenetic and desperate kind of love. It is about completely losing my sense of self in one relationship, and the deep residue of insecurity and pain that lingered and clouded a new relationship.”
Clouds In The Sky… is preceded by lead single ‘Sick Of The Blues’, for which you can watch a live video, captured during a performance at Paris’ Centre Pompidou, below.
“‘Sick Of The Blues’ is about being heartbroken and taking back some joy, remembering that you’re the source of your own happiness, not someone else, even when you’re hurt and left with a hole in your heart,” Margolin said of the song. “After being messed around enough, you just want to take back control. I just wanted to let it go, stop letting it consume me.
She continued: “I wanted simplicity, to have fun and remember everything good that could possibly happen. To love wholly, to not take anything too seriously. To have fun with my friends, to remove the tunnel vision and fall in love with my life again.”
Secretly Canadian will release Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me on October 18, 2024.
