New single from Blossoms out on Thursday! Absolutely loved Cool Like You last year, so I'm buzzing for this. I wonder if it's the lead from the next album?


Posted by: Steve201 17th June 2019, 07:45 PM

Seems very early for an album 3 opener!

Well Tom said a while ago the third album should come out 'Hopefully this year. We’ve written and demoed two album’s-worth of songs, so if we don’t get anything out, we’re lazy.'

Cool, will be good to get a third album in 3 years. Most of Here bands come with two quick albums from their large amount of material after they get signed and then a longer wait until album three. This is a nice surprise if so!

God this sounds amazing! Getting major The Smiths vibes, and it goes along with what they were saying a while ago about this album being less synth-based. Can't wait for it to be out tonight!


Posted by: WhoOdyssey 20th June 2019, 06:38 PM

Absolutely fantastic! They've confirmed they'll be working on the new album this Summer. A B-side, Torn Up has also been released:

This sounds amazing on first listen. Your comparison to The Smiths is apt!

My second most-streamed song of the year so far.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 2nd August 2019, 08:41 PM

Coming up to 2 months since this was released and I still just can't get enough of this song! It's definitely my favourite song Blossoms have released, and there's some tough competition.

The chorus is so infectious, I've had it stuck in my head for ages!


Posted by: Steve201 3rd August 2019, 09:43 AM

My favourite Blossom song now too

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 8th September 2019, 06:48 PM

Entered the official chart this week at #100! Making it their fourth single to do so.

This was one of my songs of the summer - finally peaking at no1 3 months after entering my personal chart. Decided it sounds more like Talking Heads than The Smiths.

Two great bands though!

Following on from the amazing 'Your Girlfriend' - Blossoms have an announcement tomorrow at 8pm! It could be for a new single, or even their third album!



Your Girlfriend discussion is here - http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=223188

Posted by: Steve201 2nd October 2019, 09:07 PM

OMFG hope it's a new single and album announcement. Your Girlfriend was one of my sounds of the summer, such a slow burner!!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 3rd October 2019, 07:05 PM

Their third album 'Foolish Loving Spaces' is out on January 31st! They've also announced a big UK tour including a date at Manchester Arena!

Tracklisting:

1. If You Think This Is Real Life
2. Your Girlfriend
3. The Keeper
4. My Swimming Brain
5. Sunday Was A Friend Of Mine
6. Oh No (I Think I’m In Love)
7. Romance, Eh?
8. My Vacant Days
9. Falling For Someone
10. Like Gravity

A deluxe version is also avaliable, with acoustic versions of all the tracks.

Talking about the album, they've said “The album is a pure celebration of love in all of its splendid and baffling guises, toying with the so-called sins of lust and forbidden infatuation. It’s inspired by a summer spent listening to ‘Stop Making Sense’, ‘The Joshua Tree’ and ‘Screamadelica'"



The preview of 'If You Think This Is Real Life' at the end of that video sounds brilliant!

Posted by: Steve201 4th October 2019, 08:04 AM

Very excited but sad there's no new music!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 6th October 2019, 03:40 PM

I reckon we'll have a new single this month, definitely by December I'd have thought.

Posted by: Steve201 6th October 2019, 11:15 PM

Yeh there's plenty already to look forward to in the new year, as usual most bands wait and don't release over Xmas period these days!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 6th October 2019, 11:18 PM

I'd like more Christmas covers/songs tongue.gif Last year Blossoms, Pale Waves and Shame all released ones!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 20th November 2019, 09:39 PM

'The Keeper' is out at 7:30pm tomorrow - can't wait!


Posted by: Steve201 21st November 2019, 12:57 AM

👍❤️

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st November 2019, 07:54 PM

Another banger from them! Loving the direction of the new album


Posted by: Steve201 22nd November 2019, 01:41 AM

Decent from my first play of this, wonder if it'll grow in the way Your Girlfriend did this summer?!

Posted by: M4NG0 22nd November 2019, 10:51 AM

Another cracking song from them, looking forward to the album biggrin.gif

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 24th November 2019, 10:08 AM

Just head The Keeper described as a "Mancunian indie ABBA" song, which actually describes it quite well laugh.gif

Posted by: Steve201 24th November 2019, 12:04 PM

Hahah they have some great lyrics!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 26th November 2019, 10:41 AM

Video for The Keeper:


Posted by: Steve201 26th November 2019, 11:12 PM

Great video!

Posted by: WhoChristmassy 15th December 2019, 09:59 AM

Acoustic version of The Keeper was released on Friday:


Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 15th December 2019, 12:43 PM

So this and Bombay Bicycle Club released next month, we are spoilt!

This will be a post Xmas no1 for me, brillant track.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 26th January 2020, 07:05 PM

'If You Think This Is Real Life' is out on Monday! Absolutely love the first 2 singles, so I can't wait for this.


Posted by: WhoOdyssey 27th January 2020, 05:50 PM

Love this! It's definitely going to be a fantastic album


Posted by: Steve201 28th January 2020, 12:27 AM

Just ♥️, cannot wait to listen to this on Friday!

Posted by: Steve201 30th January 2020, 09:57 PM

Not long now....

Posted by: Steve201 2nd February 2020, 01:49 AM

After the first listen of Foolish Loving Spaces it's pretty damn great. The single 'Your Girlfriend' still a highlight but loving 'Like Gravity', 'Romance, Eh' & 'If You Think This Is Real Life'.

Posted by: Burns 2nd February 2020, 10:21 AM

Yeah I quite enjoyed on first listen, will give it more! "If You Think This Is Real Life" is going to take some getting used to though with that chorus laugh.gif

Posted by: M4NGO 3rd February 2020, 03:06 PM

Another great album from them, I'm especially loving 'If You Think This Is Real Life', that's one hell of a catchy chorus biggrin.gif

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 3rd February 2020, 03:33 PM

Love this! I'm currently on my third listen.

Favourite tracks are all 3 singles, Romance Eh and Oh No!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 7th February 2020, 05:00 PM

Now their second UK #1 album!

Posted by: Steve201 10th February 2020, 09:01 PM

And well deserved!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 9th April 2020, 07:54 PM

A live track will be released every week to eventually make up 'Live From The Plaza Theatre, Stockport' - which will be released on vinyl later in the year! The first song from it to be released is 'If You Think This is Real Life'.

The setlist for that show in February was all of FLS + At Most a Kiss, Charlemagne and There's a Reason Why.

Posted by: Tangela 9th April 2020, 10:23 PM

Eager to see what the next single will be, really liked "Your Girlfriend" and "The Keeper" but can't take "If You Think This Is Real Life" seriously enough!

Posted by: lewistgreen 9th April 2020, 10:25 PM

You might have a bit of a wait seeing as If You Think This Is Real Life is now getting it’s single push kink.gif

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 9th April 2020, 10:35 PM

I think IYTTIRL is one of my faves from the album! Love the 80s pop vibes, and it's a direction I'd love to see then continue.

Posted by: Tangela 9th April 2020, 11:17 PM

Half of me enjoys it, the other half of my finds it hella irritating laugh.gif Every time it comes on I groan, yet I can't help but tap along. It's a weird one.

Also thought it was the single when the album came out! ohmy.gif

Posted by: Steve201 10th April 2020, 12:11 AM

It's peaked on my chart this month.

Your Girlfriend is still such a great song 11/10!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 10th April 2020, 09:42 AM

Sounding great live! Tom has also got a lot more into performing live on this album cycle which is great to see.


Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th April 2020, 06:26 PM

'Your Girlfriend' is tomorrow's live release!


Posted by: WhoOdyssey 2nd August 2020, 08:50 AM

The fourth album is already being recorded! Can't wait, we might even get the lead single this year ohmy.gif

*and* we're getting a Christmas song this year! I'm incredibly excited by this haha


Posted by: Steve201 25th August 2020, 05:03 PM

OMFG I'm delighted they have written a Christmas song, I'm a Christmas song Stan at the best of times. And they are an artist who might even get radio 1 support for it lol. Hope it sounds good oh and must remind them to add it to Spotify in October to have any chance of chart success 😜

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 2nd September 2020, 10:23 PM

I know I'm about a year late, but I'm loving 'Your Girlfriend' so much.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th November 2020, 03:11 PM
