Review: Porridge Radio's Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me marks a significant evolution in the band's journey, reflecting the emotional depth and creative intensity that have defined their work. Formed in 2014, the band, led by Dana Margolin, has always been known for their raw, emotionally charged performances, and this album is no exception. Recorded in Frome as winter transitioned to spring in 2024, Clouds captures the band at their most vulnerable and cohesive. Dana's introspective lyrics, shaped by personal struggles with burnout and heartbreak, are delivered with a visceral honesty. Tracks like 'Anybody' and 'God Of Everything Else' explore themes of love, loss and identity with a cathartic intensity that resonates deeply. Produced by Dom Monks, known for his work with Big Thief, the album balances expansive soundscapes with intimate, live recordings that highlight the band's chemistry. The sessions fostered a close-knit, collaborative environment, allowing the band to fully engulf themselves in the creative process. The result is an album that feels both profoundly personal and universally relatable, a true creative breakthrough for Porridge Radio.
