Blossoms: In their cool era.

Image
  La banda de Stockport lanzó su quinto álbum de estudio, Gary, hace casi dos semanas . Con su estética naranja y vestimenta oscura, Blossoms dibujaba su dirección estética para este disco. A los singles What Can I Say After I’m Sorry y Perfect M e se une I Like Your look .   Si algo resulta difícil para una banda en su quinto disco es sorprender. Su cuarto álbum, Ribbon around The bomb , les situaba en una atmósfera pop setentera, con alguna de las mejores canciones de boda, pero que también mostraba unas letras reflexivas y existenciales. Sin embargo, I like your look es sorprendente porque Blossoms , más acostumbrados a escribir desde el punto de vista del narrador (the writer ), se vuelven el centro de atención tocando un tema de los más pop de los últimos años: Ser cool , estiloso y que los demás te envidien por eso. Debemos decir que le queda realmente bien este derroche de swag , sobre todo cuando desemboca en una canción tan adictiva y pegadiza.

CALA MIJAS REVEALS THE COMPLETE LINE-UP.

 Cala Mijas is a new festival which will take place the three first days of September in Mijas (Málaga, Spain). This week the festival made public the complete line up, transforming this novice festival in one of the most exciting of the year.

Apart from betting for the British rock scene and the big names ( Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds , The Chemical Brothers ), the Festival hasn't disregarded other genres, adding important names of the latin and Spanish urban genre ( N...

THE BEST ALBUMS OF 2020 (TOP FIVE)

  1. Imploding The Mirage - The  Killers.  This album has an incredible way to capture immensity and euphoria (of finding trust,love and unavoidable faith), as it is shown in  the wild synths on My Own Soul's Warning (with Bruce Springsteen's influenced vocals) and Dying Breed . However, it is also able to draw peaceful joy , like in the serene 'Blowback'. The record is an enchantment and delight of finding a new way full of authentic feelings, excellently brought to music. Maybe that belief in authenticity and powerful love is what we needed this year.  2. Foolish Loving Spaces- Blossoms.  The Stockport band succeeds in their complete and finest analysis of love, which makes you swim through alt -rock ('Your Girlfriend' and 'Like Gravity') and pop perfection ('Oh No (I think I'm in Love)' and 'Swimming Brain') .  3 . After Hou rs-The Weeknd. An unexpected bet for pop without leaving R&B . His admiration for 80s pop came just in t...
