Ripe have returned with heir highly-anticipated new single, “Friend in the Dark,” which is out now and can be found on all streaming platforms.
“Friend in the Dark” follows their critically-acclaimed sophomore album, Bright Blues, which was released last year. Bright Blues has enjoyed big excitement at radio, with the single “Settling” hitting Top 15 at AAA, Top 25 at ALT, and Alt Nation’s “Alt-18 Weekly Countdown” with over 16K+ radio spins garnering 15+million impressions and being featured as Alt Nation’s critical cut artist.
On “Friend in the Dark”, Ripe explains, “A toast: To a night so crazy you successfully convince a policeman to quit his job. To a morning after where a near perfect recovery is interrupted by a call saying grandma died. To the fact that no matter how crazy life gets, there are still nights of joyous pressure release that we wouldn’t trade for anything. To the good people who make those nights possible, our friends in the dark.”
