In 2021, The Ophelias shared their album Crocus. Since then, they’ve released a few songs, including last year’s “Rind.” Today, they’re announcing their new EP Ribbon and sharing the single “Black Ribbon.”

The song comes with a video directed by guitarist and vocalist Spencer Peppet and bassist Jo Shaffer. The band has found joy in identifying as a queer and trans, which is explored in “Black Ribbon” as it navigates a new relationship. Ribbon was recorded at New York’s Figure 8 and Kentucky’s Candyland.

Watch the “Black Ribbon” video below.
