Buzzy Los Angeles singer/songwriter Blondshell (aka Sabrina Teitelbaum) introduced her self-titled debut album as we speak. Produced by Yves Rothman, Blondshell is coming April 7 by way of Partisan Records and options lead single “Joiner” (additionally out as we speak), plus the already launched tracks “Olympus,” “Kiss City,” “Sepsis,” and “Veronica Mars.”
Opening up about “Joiner,” which has a video directed by Alex Thurmond, Teitelbaum says: “I was listening to a lot of Britpop when I wrote this song. A lot of those bands (the Verve, Pulp, Suede, Blur, etc.) channeled dark subject matter, drugs, and all this dirty stuff, but with a fun acoustic guitar under it. I was listening to the Replacements, too. That’s what this song was inspired by sonically. I wanted it to feel like you’re watching HBO, where even though it’s heavy, it’s still a good time.”
Listen to and watch “Joiner” beneath.
