Aug 19, 2016Blossoms have produced an album of perfectly structured songs accompanied by strong lyrics that tell many tales to the large cult they seem to have already acquired.
-
MojoAug 3, 2016They impress with a neo-Romanticism rather than basic rabble-rousing. [Sep 2016, p.99]
-
Aug 3, 2016Ultimately, Blossoms leap from their chart-bound Trojan horse as modernist rock heroes.
-
Aug 3, 2016Wreathed in mellotron, vibrato guitar and ghostly backing vocals, several songs evoke the windswept psych-pop of The Coral, whose singer James Skelly co-produces Blossoms.
-
Aug 10, 2016Overall, Blossoms is a strong debut that distills the best of the quintet's diverse influences into a catchy amalgam that opts to shoot for the mainstream rather than stick to the same old sound.

Aug 11, 2016There’s plenty to applaud on a promising debut, but, as yet, not enough to believe in.

Aug 8, 2016There’s a decent amount of groove and swagger here too, not least in the low-slung funk of Smashed Pianos, and singer Tom Ogden’s vocals, are pitched engagingly between the rough-edged croon of Alex Turner and the florid yelp of Brett Anderson.

Q MagazineAug 3, 2016At times it can feel a little lightweight. [Sep 2016, p.106]
-
Aug 4, 2016Blossom's debut record isn't short on marketable material, but its impact could certainly have been enhanced by a more ruthless pruning.
