Porridge Radio unveil new single, "A Hole In The Ground"
Porridge Radio have shared "A Hole In The Ground" as the latest single taken from their fourth studio album, Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me.
Following previous lead single, "Sick of the Blues", the accompanying video for "A Hole In The Ground" is shot live from their recent performance at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
On "A Hole In The Ground", Dana Margolin, who fronts the band, said: “This is a song about not knowing, being trapped in a haunted fairytale or a horrible nightmare and running and running and predicting horrible futures that come true and self-fulfil. It's a gentle lullaby but it's also a folktale with a tragic ending. This is a song about knowing what you don’t know yet. Seeing the future by guessing, being right.”
Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me is a coming-of-age moment inspired by burnout, the music industry, heartbreak, and Margolin’s own increasing immersion in her craft as an artist. “Almost all the songs started out as poems,” says Margolin of her different approach in writing the music. She had learned that a songwriter can always hide behind the tricks of the music. “In a poem, though,” she says, “you can’t hide.”
