Ringlets - New Life 7" (Vinyl 7)
Ragingly bright post-punk quartet Ringlets emerged from Aotearoa’s musical ether in 2021; carving out space with their distinct blend of delicate wit, grit and evident sonic technicality. With a highly durable, machine-tested rhythm section (Arabella Poulsen, Arlo Grey) and two of Auckland’s leading lyrical & melodic consultants (László Reynolds, Leith Towers), Ringlets have been fast-building a solid reputation.
Following their 2023 self-titled debut, ‘New Life’ is Ringlets’ first release in just over a year. The new single is a sharp, punchy post-punk anthem with precision and technicality to boot; merging the band's undoubtedly New Wave influences with a crisp professionalism and oft-wry lyrical delivery courtesy of laissez-faire vocalist Leith Towers.
Made with the support of NZ on Air, and pressed to limited edition 7" vinyl thanks to Leather Jacket Records and Flying Nun Records, 'New Life' is paired with an exclusive, vinyl-only B-side; the sardonic and brooding 'Scam Me', prised from the depths of Ringlet's shimmering back catalogue.
‘New Life' is available digitally and on limited edition 7” via Flying Nun Records | Leather Jacket Records and all good record stores.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
