Porridge Radio have announced details of their new album, ‘Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky’.

Set for release via Secretly Canadian on 20th May, it comes alongside the opening track from the record, ‘Back To The Radio’.

Speaking about the single, vocalist Dana Margolin explains: “‘Back To The Radio’ feels like a huge introductory hello or a big ceremonial goodbye. I wrote it at the end of 2019 when we were gearing up for the release of Every Bad and I felt like a lot of things were coming that I wasn’t sure I knew how to handle. The song grew out of a feeling of intense loneliness and being unprepared for what everybody was promising me was about to happen – and a strong desire to escape without knowing what I wanted to escape to. To me there’s a huge feeling of catharsis in this song, of letting go and letting it sweep you away.”

About the album, she continues: “I wrote these songs for myself but I think everyone wants to feel like what they’re doing is useful in some way. I’m learning to embrace both now, the parts that are for me, and the parts that are for everybody else.”

The tracklisting for the record reads:

  1. Back To The Radio
  2. Trying
  3. Birthday Party
  4. End Of Last Year
  5. Rotten
  6. U Can Be Happy If U Want To
  7. Flowers
  8. Jealousy
  9. I Hope She’s OK 2
  10. Splintered
  11. The Rip
  12. Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky
