Porridge Radio – Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me

Description

Recorded in the Somerset countryside in early 2024 by longtime Big Thief and Laura Marling engineer Dom Monks, Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me is Porridge Radios new album and first new music in two years. The UK bands new album is a coming-of-age moment inspired by burnout, the music industry, the brutal collapse of a relationship and – crucially – Dana Margolins own increasing immersion in her craft as an artist. All the songs started out as poems, says Margolin of the work that became Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me , I wanted to challenge myself. In a song, Dana argues, the writer can always hide behind the tricks of the music and well-worn techniques such as repetition. In a poem, though, says Dana, its just words and thats it.
