The Ophelias - Ribbon EP (2024) [Hi-Res]

BY KAELEN BELL
The Ophelias — frontperson Spencer Peppet, drummer Mic Adams, violinist Andrea Gutmann Fuentes and bassist Jo Shaffer — have announced their new Ribbon EP, which is arriving April 12.

Alongside the announcement, the New York by Cincinnati band have also shared the video for lead single and quasi-title track “Black Ribbon.” The song is described as exploring “the newness of a queer relationship” over swelling, verging-on-baroque instrumentation. “Some kind of desire / That I cannot categorize / You are a Springsteen song / Dark sky in overdrive into the warm night,” Peppet sings.
