Similar to: Elliott Smith

An Blonds have generated a healthy amount of internet interest this summer without having much of an online presence themselves. And it’s easy to see why the word of mouth recommendations and blog posts keep coming after delving into their latest EP release.

The band make sweet melancholic songs, filled with tales of love and regret. They combine electronic textures to provide a tropical lighter side to their sound, and more organic instruments ensure the human element that is so important to this kind of music is not lost. And with stand-out track ‘Currents’, An Blonds channel the spirit of Elliott Smith with a kind of song that is sorely lacking in modern day music - to hear dynamism and emotion in a band making their name through the usual blog buzz channels makes for a refreshing change. If any internet sensation’s capable of making it in the real world, it’s these guys.

An Blonds EP ‘An Invitation To Love’ is out now on Twisted Tape Recordings (Deap Vally, Drop Out Venus). Stream ‘Currents’ below:
