Today, Ribbon Skirt share their new track "LUCKY8" and announce their highly anticipated Bite Down follow-up EP, PENSACOLA, out digitally on October 3 on Mint!
"LUCKY8" marks Ribbon Skirt’s searing return with their first single since Bite Down. While it traverses abstract emotional terrain, "LUCKY8" spirals through memory and desire - grasping at the impossible, hoping that one flicker might bring the past rushing back.
Refusing to be boxed into a single genre, Ribbon Skirt embraces sonic risk with "LUCKY8," blending shoegaze, noise, and post-punk with surrealistic storytelling. It’s a track that doesn’t chase clarity - it lives in the blur, and finds its power there.
PENSACOLA is a moment suspended between reckoning and release. Framed as an epilogue to Ribbon Skirt's critically-acclaimed debut Bite Down, it captures the emotional residue left in the album’s wake - the lingering heat, the unsaid, the still-burning edge.
