Pip Blom Announce New LP 'Welcome Break', Stream "Keep It Together"

Amsterdam indie pop/rock band Pip Blom have announced the release of their sophomore album 'Welcome Break'.

The follow-up to 2019's debut Boat, will be out on on November 12th via Heavenly Recordings, it was self-produced and engineered by Al Harle at Big Jelly Studios & mixed by Grammy award-winning engineer Caesar Edmunds. Pre-order your copy here.

Actively seeking out moments of creative-authenticity, be it via a slightly-out-of-tune guitar or proudly-fuzzed vocals, Pip Blom take us back full circle and introduce us to their ‘Welcome Break’- an eleven-track release which resonates with about as much decisive allure as it’s ‘Boat’ precursor, but this time with a bit more contemporary chaos to boot. Where ‘Boat’ reckoned as a fresh-faced, yet gloriously fearless game-changer, ‘Welcome Break’ is the self-assured older sibling who, with an additional year or two behind themselves, isn’t afraid to speak out, take lead, and instigate a liberated revolution-come-bliss-out.

Pip Blom’s ‘Welcome Break’ is adamantly nothing to do with the present state of affairs. In fact, it doesn’t have anything to do with much at all and that’s the way they like it. ‘Welcome Break’ is but two nouns of which when placed together in context, ring confidently with prowess, intent, and a radiant true-spirit - much like Pip Blom herself.

Speaking about it the band says: "It’s a song about passionate unconditional love for something or someone, without any choice, no matter what they put you through, no matter what they think of you or what they give in return. Love-Hate relationships, addictions anything that might be a burden of love, a commitment of passion and pain."

New Entry: Love Object Premiere New Single “High Heels (Kabluki)”

Russian electro pop/darkwave band Love Object have premiered their new single "High Heels (Kabluki)".

“High Heels (Kabluki)” is the latest missile from the elusive Moscow duo who debuted on our After Dark 3 compilation last year. Get it here.

“High heels are a tertiary sex characteristic & can be seen as a weapon as well as a symbol of female dominance. We chose aggressive tones, violent rhythms, & powerful monolithic phrasing to illustrate this idea.” – Love Object
