British duo Let’s Eat Grandma (Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth) have shared a video for their new single “Happy New Year.” It is the latest release from their forthcoming album, Two Ribbons, which will be out on April 8 via Transgressive. Watch the Noel Paul-directed video below.

Walton elaborates on the new song, which reflects on her friendship with Hollingworth, in a press release: “I wrote ‘Happy New Year’ after a breakdown between us that lasted for a long period of time, to communicate to her how important she is to me and how our bond and care for each other goes much deeper than this difficult time. I used the setting of New Year as both an opportunity for reflection, looking back nostalgically through childhood memories that we shared, and to represent the beginning of a fresh chapter for us. I’d been struggling to come to terms with the fact that our relationship had changed, but as the song and time progresses I come to accept that it couldn’t stay the way it was when we were kids forever, and start to view it as a positive thing—because now we have been able to grow into our own individual selves.”

Previously released singles from Two Ribbons include “Hall of Mirrors,” which made it to #1 on our Songs of the Week list, and the album’s title track, which was also one of our Songs of the Week.
