Ringlets Share New Single + Video ‘I Was on That Roof Once’
June 12th, 2025
Today, Ringlets share the bewilderingly beautiful third single, ‘I Was on That Roof Once’, from their soon-approaching album The Lord Is My German Shepherd (Time for Walkies), set for release on June 27th via Flying Nun Records and Leather Jacket Records.
Following up the world-weary ‘Heavenly Wheel’ and blistering ‘Street Massage’, ‘I Was on That Roof Once’ showcases the varied sound of the band’s upcoming sophomore album. Glistening guitar meets the ticking drums of Arlo Grey and gorgeous harmonies – courtesy of vocalists Arabella Poulsen, László Reynolds & Leith Towers – with a not-so-subtle introduction of the LP’s title in the track’s mystifying opening line.
About the song and its music video, Leith shares “‘I Was on That Roof Once’ circles the drain of sincerity, belief, and our better natures gone a bit mouldy. The video features door dancing, a lost Irish tradition we’ve likely misremembered, pitched somewhere between ceremony and bluff. It’s a nod to ritual, balance, and the ways we try not to spill ourselves.”
On The Lord Is My German Shepherd (Time for Walkies):
To be released on June 27th via Flying Nun Records and Leather Jacket Records, The Lord Is My German Shepherd (Time for Walkies) is the band’s shimmering follow-up to their distinct eponymous debut in 2023 and a vibrant expression of their singular song craft.
Produced by Ringlets – Arabella Poulsen (bass & vocals), Arlo Grey (drums), László Reynolds (guitar & vocals) and Leith Towers (lead-vocalist) – in Auckland at The Lab alongside Michael Logie (The Mint Chicks) and mixed by Isaac Keating at Abbey Road Studios, The Lord Is My German Shepherd (Time for Walkies) conjures mystic visions; takes raucous, unkempt yet solely committed turns, twists, and tiptoes delicately between the absurd and the divine.
The Lord Is My German Shepherd (Time for Walkies) is available for pre-order now on Translucent Green Vinyl with Obi Strip and on Exclusive Flying Nun Black. Pre-order or Pre-save here.
