Porridge Radio: Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me review – exquisite euphoria through repetition
Emotions run high on the Brighton band’s fourth album as frontwoman Dana Margolin exorcises past relationships
There comes a point in many Porridge Radio songs when the intensity ramps up, repetition of a key line or chorus thunders in and the Brighton quartet unleash fury with their jagged, weirdly euphoric indie rock. Still, she continues to scour her recent relationships on Clouds with a passion that can be exhausting – although it’s carefully structured so you wade through emotional heavy weather before emerging into something like sunlight by the last track, air-punch anthem Sick of the Blues. A vibe shift occurs in the album’s latter half as the combative guitars recede, leaving more space for Margolin’s spiky poetry, contemplative brass and some quieter, prettier moments.
