Pip Blom return with their new record 'Welcome Break' following the release of their debut 'Boat' in 2019. Self-produced and engineered by Al Harle at Big Jelly Studios & mixed by Grammy award-winning engineer Caesar Edmunds.
Actively seeking out moments of creative-authenticity, be it via a slightly-out-of-tune guitar or proudly-fuzzed vocals, Pip Blom take us back full circle and introduce us to their āWelcome Breakā- an eleven-track release which resonates with about as much decisive allure as itās āBoatā precursor, but this time with a bit more contemporary chaos to boot. Where āBoatā reckoned as a fresh-faced, yet gloriously fearless game-changer, āWelcome Breakā is the self-assured older sibling who, with an additional year or two behind themselves, isnāt afraid to speak out, take lead, and instigate a liberated revolution-come-bliss-out.
Lead singleās āKeep It Togetherā and āYou Donāt Want Thisā are glistening masterclasses in feel-good chorus- the very kind of coming-of-age relatability where a soul would want to let down their hair, stick their arm out the window of their best friends car and roll with the motions in a rapture of soundtracked euphoria, and jangled adventure. Unhinging genre in our instant-access era of musical snoot, no-one does an enthused-chorus quite like Pip Blom yet much can be said for this gang being far from one-trick-ponies.
Anthemic drifters āDifferent Tuneā and āIt Should Have Been Funā are slow-building, amplified highlights. Carrying all the weight of convicted fearlessness on their shoulders, Pip Blom unhinge pre-disposed expectations of crafted alternative like graduates straight outta Kim Dealās school of rock, whilst closing number āTrouble In Paradiseā, sets the tone for what will only be the ultimate, set-list once gigs resume again . With Pip Blom, no mood is untouched nor sense of renewal left behind. The trick to it all? As Pip reveals: āI just really like catchy songs and I feel like thatās something we try to do. Iād classify it as being sentimental ā itās not sugar-happy Pop.... more like āTitanicā pop songs...ā
For those of us missing the buzzed adrenaline of communal music-exploration, the idea of escapism in cramped and sweaty crevices can seem quite lifeless. If it's a sense of community youāre after then look no further than āPip Blom Backstageā.
Streaming goodness 24/7 as a fan-centric loyalty app, āPip Blom Backstageā gives access to exclusive news, premium content, and, a chat box for the Pip Blom Backstage community; further cementing Pip Blom as undeniable pals for life as fan-clips, spotify playlists and even a cooking lesson from bassist Darek Mercks, are all made available from the VIP lounge of your own back-pocket.
In conclusion, there're actually thirty-five āWelcome Breakā pit stops a weary traveller can make in a lifetime spent on the M1, and itās associates. Whilst the roadās presently a little less travelled, Pip Blomās āWelcome Breakā is adamantly nothing to do with the present state of affairs. In fact, it doesnāt have anything to do with much at all and thatās the way they like it. āWelcome Breakā is but two nouns of which when placed together in context, ring confidently with prowess, intent, and a radiant true-spirit - much like Pip Blom herself.
