Description
There’s a sly bass walk-up before the chorus in The Sulking Poet that tells you where Blossoms are steering Ribbon Around The Bomb: sleek, tuneful, and just a touch theatrical. Produced with their longtime team, the album leans into classic pop craft without turning saccharine. The title track glides on warm keys and a conversational vocal, while Ode To NYC sparkles with a postcard’s worth of detail. Care For slips into a loungey sway that suits Tom Ogden’s croon.
This LP pressing does the band a favour, with low end sitting deeper and the imaging feeling wider, so the strings and percussion have proper breathing room. You’ll want this filed near The Last Shadow Puppets and the softer, mid-80s sophisti-pop corner of your shelf. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Blossoms records online with us.
Spin it start to finish and you get a neat arc: wistful storytelling, bright choruses, and small arrangement flourishes that reward a closer listen. The Writer is the secret highlight, tightening the focus to melody and voice without losing the album’s glow. It’s a confident set from a band who know exactly how to dress a song, and this format lets the details land.
