Porridge Radio have released a new song called “The Rip” from their upcoming album Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky. It comes with a music video directed by frontperson Dana Margolin’s sister Ella Margolin. The clip features Dana Margolin running on a treadmill in a field while mysterious figures in papier-mâché masks slowly surround her. Find the video, which contains strobing images, below.
“We wanted [‘The Rip’] to sound like massive pop, like Charli XCX, but with the instrumentation of bands like Slothrust or Deftones,” said Dana Margolin in a statement. “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… I wanted it to feel like your soul is dropping out of your body.”
“The Rip” is the second single Porridge Radio have shared from Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder to the Sky, following “Back to the Radio.” The LP is scheduled to arrive May 20 via Secretly Canadian.
