The release, produced by Marta Salogni, follows the recent news that Porridge Radio’s critically acclaimed record Every Bad, released earlier this year on Secretly Canadian, was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
Also announced today is a live session filmed by El Hardwick which will go live at 7.30pm BST / 2.30pm ET on Thurs, 17th Sept.
‘7 Seconds’ marks a continuation of what has been a breakthrough year for the band, which saw the recording of Every Bad catapult them from a word-of-mouth gem of Brighton’s DIY scene to releasing one of the year’s most well-received records.
Maintaining the sweeping ambition of their latest record, ‘7 Seconds’ leans into the band’s core love of pop music: with synth-driven melodies the backdrop to singer Dana Margolin’s urgent, emotive vocals.
On 7 Seconds, Dana explained:
“7 Seconds started out sounding really different to how it sounds now. A few years ago I wrote a really slow, long and drawn out song about the end of something that was never right. I was sitting with Sam early last year and I played it to him and asked him if he could help me make it less miserable. He wrote the main keyboard riff almost immediately and it came together really quickly after that; we restructured and re-arranged it and added the end part, which I think of lyrically as a kind of conversation between two different versions of myself.”
