Speaking about it frontman Tom Ogden said: Speaking about ‘The Sulking Poet’, frontman Tom Ogden explains: “I once saw a Blossoms fan page describe me as ‘The Sulking Poet’ and I thought that was a great name for a song. I have been told that I need to smile more from time to time. This song touches on the imposter syndrome I’ve sometimes felt in the past. How did I get here? Do I deserve it? Should I be enjoying myself more?”

Blossoms Announce New LP 'Ribbon Around The Bomb', Stream Title Track

Manchester indie rock/psych pop band Blossoms have announced the release of their new album titled 'Ribbon Around The Bomb'.

The follow up to their 2018's album Cool Like You, was produced by James Skelly & Rich Turvey and  will be released on 29th April on Virgin EMI. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about the new album and single, Blossoms frontman Tom Ogden said: "While on tour in 2019 in Mexico, I visited Frida Kahlo’s house. Looking at her paintings on show, someone had described one of them as being like a ‘ribbon around a bomb’. I immediately thought that it was a great title for a song and album because of the imagery that it evoked in my mind. I thought about how lots of things in life could be described as being a ribbon around a bomb in the sense that as people we often dress things up which have a darkness lying beneath them".

“The more songs I wrote, the more I realised that the writer referenced in the songs was in fact me,” Ogden continues. “Having been so busy for the past eight years I and the band have never really had the chance to step back and reflect on what we’ve achieved. You’re so focused on the future; write the next album then tour. Your life is usually mapped out at least two years in advance.”

Manchester indie rock/psych pop band Blossoms have announced the release of their new album titled 'Cool Like You'.

UPDATE 05/03/2018: "I Can't Stand It" is our new Single of the Week!

About the song, frontman Tom Ogden explains: "is inspired in part by Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's a song about desperately wanting to forget about someone, but you can't because they're a part of you - and how that can be unbearable. Spotless Mind is about wanting to erase someone from your thoughts - to forget they even existed - and that feeds into the lyrics. It's a very literal song in many ways."
