Porridge Radio have announced a new album: Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me arrives October 18 via Secretly Canadian. The British post-punk quartet has also shared a live video for the album’s lead single, “Sick of the Blues,” as well as a set of tour dates that will take the band across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom through next year. Find the new video and tour dates below.
Produced by Dom Monks, Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me is inspired by “a more frenetic and desperate kind of love,” bandleader Dana Margolin said in a press statement. “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.”
Speaking about the new single, she continued, “‘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. After being messed around enough, you just want to take back control.”
Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me is the follow-up to the band’s 2022 LP, Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky. Earlier this year, Porridge Radio shared “Everyone’s a Superstar,” a new collaborative song with Ian Sweet.
