Give / Take (video) by Porridge Radio
Directed by Bella Popadec
Out 26th August 2019
“The video I made with Porridge Radio for their single Give/Take is a juicy exploration of messy polyamory, messy fruit, sex, death and that your pals and music are just as important as any of that shit.” – Bella Popadec, director, artist & bassist of Dream Wife
“I’m so happy that we could make this video with Bella, she’s an artist who I really respect, and I loved seeing and being a part of her creative process up close when making this video. We had a lot of fun with it, but we also had some big honest conversations about what the song was about, and I think that openness translated into something really exciting and quite raw, and I love how it turned out. Massive thanks and love to Bella forever.” – Dana Margolin, leader of Porridge Radio
Bio
Beginning as Dana Margolin’s sadcore bedroom project, Porridge Radio developed into an idiosyncratic post-punk 4-piece after she moved to Brighton and met her future bandmates. They inelegantly knot together Margolin’s vicious, furious emotional outpourings with beautiful pop melodies, and have shared stages with the likes of Soccer Mommy, Alex G, Cherry Glazerr, Goat Girl, Dream Wife and Lydia Lunch.
After a series of demos, and the growing legend of their intense live shows, full-band LP ‘Rice, Pasta and Other Fillers’ came out via Memorials of Distinction in 2016. Recorded in a garden shed, their lofi debut documents struggles with life, love and boredom, and showcases the scrapbook absurdism at Porridge Radio’s core.
In 2019 Porridge Radio made an eagerly anticipated return with their first studio-recordings, the singles ‘Give / Take’ and ‘Don’t Ask Me Twice’. The two tracks offer the first glimpse of an increasingly refined sound, whilst maintaining the earnest vitality of their earlier work.
