Porridge Radio have shared a new single/video “End of Last Year,” the track is off their LP Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky, available May 20th via Secretly Canadian. Vocalist, Dana Margolin elaborates on the track and the video: “‘End Of Last Year’ is a love song for my bandmates and for myself. It’s about not trusting my intuition, not trusting my body to heal itself, not trusting the people closest to me, but it is also an ode to all those people, and to difficult platonic love. It came out of a particularly painful period of communication breakdown and high pressure that hurt a lot, but ended in reconciliation and understanding.

“The video is by my friend Maura Sappilo. I’ve been a fan of her work for a long time, and I wanted her to make the video for this song because whilst her work is playful and bright, she knows how to bring the dirty and painful and disgusting aspects of being a person and having relationships into her paintings. Her art is lyrical and sensual and painful and beautiful, and I love how she brought all that to this song.”

On May 3rd, Porridge Radio’s Margolin and Yardley will perform a special free duo show at the Greene Space in New York City. Following UK and European tours this summer, the full band will come over for their first-ever US tour – tickets go on sale this Friday, May 6 at 10am local time.
