The Texas-based Blushing debuted (world-wide but also on my blog) with their brilliant EP Tether back in 2017. Now, 6 years (!) later, they released the sophomore album Possessions, making sure that they should be counted as one of the big nugaze/dream pop bands out there these days.
As the canons want it, the noisy pop from the Americans involves huge amounts of reverbs, guitar noise and soft vocals. But their new release is also catchier and more psychedelic than what I associate the band with. The high-paced tracks go on and on with upbeat tunes and catchy riffs, making your body involuntarily dance to the guitar psychedelia they offer. This makes me think of a lighter, dreamier version of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart that is able to write captivating melodies and drown them in the ethereal atmosphere with ease - both in the faster hits and the slightly slower, very much psychedelic compositions like Gel.
Undoubtedly, a big thing for the band is the cooperation with Lush's Miki Berenyi; the icon's guest vocals (together with unorthodox backing vocals) made Blame one of the more memorable shoegaze song of the beginning of the year. Really well-balanced, top-of-the-shelf release.
Possessions costs 8.99 USD.
