Orange Animal shares their new single ‘Place for Me’. A song which asks the devastating question: Will you hold a place for me when it’s over? “It’s a song about a beautifully imperfect love that is coming to an end,” says Ramsey. “Its expression isn’t grandiose. It’s simple. That’s all.”
This is the title track from The Place for Me EP (Summer, 2026) that is Orange Animal’s first release since signing with London/Brooklyn based record label, Paper Garden Records in March. The single releases with a brooding music video following two people near each other but letting go. “It’s really just an imperfect plea to be remembered by someone you love.”
Compared with Orange Animal’s 2024 album, Still Frames, and 2025 single, Sweet Heartache, The Place for Me EP is a new chapter. It’s intentionally stripped back and reflective. “By and large, the songs are quiet and slow. The whole EP is kind of sad,” Ramsey explains. “But it ends with a stubborn conviction to simply hold on.”
Orange Animal recorded these songs at Suma Recording Studio- “The studio is out in the woods. We lived there, spent the night there, fully immersed in the process.” Ramsey said.
Ramsey’s writing is instinctive. “It’s less of an inspired venture. It’s not that fancy. I just hear something and put it down. But once I hear it, it becomes a compulsion. And sometimes, like with these songs, it scrapes off large parts of me.”
But Ramsey quickly emphasizes that Orange Animal is his family and these songs don’t exist without his bandmates. “Bill (bass) and Adam (drums) have been with me from the beginning. For nearly a decade they’ve been willing to go with me on every adventure and they bring such a special musicality and feel to each of these songs.”
