Brighton three piece Porridge Radio have announced another single from their upcoming new album “Every Bad”, released 13th March via Secretly Canadian. Titled “Circling”, the record is an urgent pleading waltz. “I was thinking on the idea of willing things to be okay by repeating that they are, because I need them to be” lead singer Dana Margolin explained.
The tempo is set up with synths before drums and some economically picked guitar. Dana’s vocals really shine here. Sounding almost desperate as the track builds and builds to an euphoric ending of voices and drums. Belting the line “I go inside the sea sometimes” with a passionate snarl.
It took three spins for me to be hooked and appreciate what this band is doing.
