PORRIDGE RADIO melden sich mit ihrer neuen Single und dem zugehörigen Video zu „The Rip“ aus ihrem kommenden dritten Studioalbum „Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky“ zurück, das am 20. Mai bei Secretly Canadian erscheint. Nach der bereits veröffentlichten Leadsingle „Back To The Radio“ setzen PORRIDGE RADIO ihre mitreißende Alt-Rock-Serie mit „The Rip“ fort. Das kraftvolle Bildmaterial zum poppigeren Track stammt erneut von Danas Schwester, Ella Margolin, die die Regie zum Clip übernahm.

Dana Margolin über den Track: “‘The Rip’ was the last song to be finished for the album, and we finished it about a week before we went into the studio to record it in March 2021. We wanted it to sound like massive pop, like Charli XCX, but with the instrumentation of bands like Slothrust or Deftones. It took the longest a song has ever taken me to write lyrics for, and they took form over a few years. At the beginning it was a song about a power dynamic where I was in control, by the end it was about one where I had none.

My friends always accuse me of making up idioms and using them like they are well known phrases and I think this song is full of those. I love the idea of something being sick at the seams, like it's disintegrating from its core. I like things that are so simple they are universal. I wanted it to sound like when your heart breaks so badly that your entire body aches. I wanted it to feel like your soul is dropping out of your body.”

Im Dezember 2022 kommt das Quartett außerdem nach etlichen Verschiebungen endlich für vier Termine nach Deutschland:

13. November: Köln - Club Volta
8. Dezember: München - Feierwerk (Kranhalle)
12. Dezember: Berlin - Festsaal Kreuzberg
16. Dezember: Hamburg - Hafenklang
