While Let’s Eat Grandma are better known for kaleidoscopic synth-pop, the title track from their upcoming album is a pared-down, downtempo ballad that acknowledges the gradual dissolution of a friendship. Written by Jenny Hollingworth, “Two Ribbons” is a letter of sorts to her close friend and bandmate, Rosa Walton, focused on the growing distance between them and the love that keeps them entwined “like two ribbons still woven.” Over gentle, acoustic instrumentation, Hollingworth’s angelic tone carries a heart-rending weariness. There’s no begging, no bartering: It’s just a wan acceptance of a solitude that seems to loom ever closer.

As the final track on the album, “Two Ribbons” comes as a breather from the dizzying action of Let’s Eat Grandma’s previous work. While they aren’t new to exploring themes of loneliness and loss, “Two Ribbons” feels particularly personal and candid. The song intensifies as Hollingworth’s plaintive songwriting takes center stage. “I’m not brave,” she pleads, musing on the transience of friendship as a chorus of synths rises and falls behind her: “They say it’s like the rains that come down in October/Watch them wash away.”
