Blondshell announces third album 'Violins' with arresting title track

Blondshell is back - already! - with the news that her next album, ‘Violins’, will be arriving on 25th September via Partisan Records. 

She only released her sophomore outing ‘If You Asked For A Picture’ last year, but clearly isn’t one to rest on her laurels; speaking about her third LP, Sabrina Teitelbaum has said: “I felt like I didn’t need to overexplain anything, like I can trust the people listening more. It feels like every time I make a record, I get closer to making the thing that I really want to make.”

Introducing ‘Violins’ is its title track - a song described in press materials as the record’s “emotional centrepiece” and “North Star”, a masterful combination of tender vulnerability and hook-laden grunge that explores the album’s core tension between the world’s beauty and violence.

“This song sums up the album in a lot of ways,” Sabrina has confirmed, explaining that “when I was writing I felt really drawn to images of patience and kindness, for example putting your head on someone’s shoulder, alongside images of violence.

“I was also inspired by the idea of healing slowly and refusing to be rushed by any outside force. Things genuinely just take the time they take. I’m not at a point in life where I can have a no assholes policy yet, but I like the idea of weeding out people that aren’t going to let me have limitations.”
