Finding joy through repetition was a keynote of Brighton rockers Porridge Radio’s wondrous second album, Every Bad. The band’s majestically unfettered singer-guitarist Dana Margolin would take a refrain and repeat it until it became unavoidable, unforgettable, while the other three players summoned a storm behind her. Sadly, Every Bad was released just as we all discovered the pleasures of queuing outside supermarkets because there was nowhere else to go. The album’s relentless brilliance was confined to headphones and laptops, not the bigger speakers it deserved. Two years on, this sequel is a similarly entrancing, sometimes frightening listen.
