Watch: Blushing Share New Single/Video "The Fires"

Austin, TX dream pop/shoegaze/bedroom pop band Blushing have unleashed the video for their excellent new single "The Fires".

The song is taken from their forthcoming album 'Possessions', set to arrive on February 18, 2022 via Kanine Records. Pre-order your copy here. 

The album was mastered by Ride's Mark Gardener, and The Fires is the only track on the record also mixed by him. Speaking about it, Michelle Soto explains: “We knew Mark could bring a special element to 'The Fires'. However, just as the mixing and mastering process was wrapping up in February 2021 we lost all power and water for over a week due to a freak blizzard that devastated much of Texas. It caused a most unexpected delay in our ability to communicate back and forth with Mark about the track, who expressed concern for the band’s well being as news of the storm reached all the way to the UK.”

“Eventually the snow melted, lights and internet returned and what we received in the final mix was a punchy, glimmering track, a perfect balance to the dark, brooding tone of the song.”

Watch: Blushing Unleash New Single/Video "Sour Punch"

Austin, TX dream pop/shoegaze/bedroom pop band Blushing have unleashed the video for their new single "Sour Punch".

The song is taken from their forthcoming album 'Possessions', set to arrive on February 18, 2022 via Kanine Records. Pre-order your copy here. 

From the band: “‘Sour Punch’ (originally titled “Sour Punch Straws” after one of Christina’s favorite candies) originated In the summer of 2019 when our lead guitarist Noe shared an experimental, crunchy chord progression he’d written, unlike any the band had previously explored. He said he was watching the movie “Clueless” and was inspired to write something he could see being a title track to some 90’s teen rom-com. When the rest of us collaborated with his sketch, a snarky pop melody was infused and the result was a sweet and spiky blend of indie pop tackling the tale of inequality and independence in a relationship.”

Blushing Announce New LP 'Possessions', Stream "Blame (feat. Miki Berenyi)"

Austin, TX dream pop/shoegaze/bedroom pop band Blushing have announced the release of their new studio album 'Possessions'. 

The 12-track record, produced and mixed by Elliott Frazier (Ringo Deathstarr) will be out on February 18, 2022 via Kanine Records. Pre-order your copy here. 

'Possessions' serves as a 1990s transport, complete with charismatic vocals, dreamy guitar hooks and swirling bass lines, it is an album filled with dream pop intensity.

The album title “Possessions” is an observation of the frenetic time in which it was created. Blushing is a part of the modern dream pop and shoegaze community that has helped blushing create an album that all indie music lovers need to hear. Fans of Lush, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Slowdive won’t be able to resist this album. “Michelle Soto and Christina Carmona sing wistfully over a cascading atmosphere or expansive space created by themselves with help from their husbands Jake Soto and Noe Carmona”

New single "Blame", is an immersive reintroduction to Blushing’s heavy brand of dream pop and harnesses a veritable who’s who of established and upcoming shoegaze scenesters; most notably in the distinctive vocals of Miki Berenyi from Brit legends Lush and Piroshka. This testament to trans-atlantic mutual appreciation began when Blushing covered “Out Of Control” for a Lush tribute album in 2018, catching the ear of Berenyi, who tweeted her appreciation, and a friendship was born. As the tracking sessions for Possessions took place throughout 2020, the band approached Berenyi about the possibility of her collaborating on a song and were thrilled to find that she shared their excitement to work together. The track and lyric sheet were digitally whisked off to London with the request that Berenyi add any vocals she would like. What she returned was a beautifully creative melding of harmonies and counter melodies that takes the original song into striking new territory.
