Ringlets - New Life 7"

Ringlets - New Life 7"

Flying Nun  Records

Ragingly bright post-punk quartet Ringlets emerged from Aotearoa’s musical ether in 2021; carving out space with their distinct blend of delicate wit, grit and evident sonic technicality. With a highly durable, machine-tested rhythm section (Arabella Poulsen, Arlo Grey) and two of Auckland’s leading lyrical & melodic consultants (László Reynolds, Leith Towers), Ringlets have been fast-building a solid reputation.

Following their 2023 self-titled debut, ‘New Life’ is Ringlets’ first release in just over a year. The new single is a sharp, punchy post-punk anthem with precision and technicality to boot; merging the band's undoubtedly New Wave influences with a crisp professionalism and oft-wry lyrical delivery courtesy of laissez-faire vocalist Leith Towers.

Made with the support of NZ on Air, and pressed to limited edition 7" vinyl thanks to Leather Jacket Records and Flying Nun Records, 'New Life' is paired with an exclusive, vinyl-only B-side; the sardonic and brooding 'Scam Me', prised from the depths of Ringlet's shimmering back catalogue.
