They were on the BBC's Sound Of new music list for 2016 where they finished in fourth place. It was commented by the band and several other people that they were one of only two guitar bands on the list, alongside Rat Boy. Blossoms' self-titled debut album was one of the twelve albums nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2017.
2. Blossoms are a Finnish pop/funk band. They have to date released a self-titled EP in 2004, and two albums: 2006's self-titled debut and 2015's El Ritmo Que Obsesiona IV.
3. Blossoms is the alias of Melbourne electronic artist, Justin Cantrell.
He has just self-released his debut EP, meeting places.
Featuring 4 tracks, including re-takes on previously released singles, ‘Eyes On You’ and ‘Come Together’, the EP encompasses the progression and maturing nature of Cantrell as an artist as well as an ever evolving soundscape that lends itself to elements of chillwave, beats, ambient, dreampop, lo-fi and plenty more.
With an emphasis on live instrumentation, as well as distorted vocals, we feel that Blossoms definitely provides something special within a booming scene, whilst also maintaining an air of accessibility for punters from all circles. meeting places takes all these elements and brings them together to create a world of woozy layered synths and textured samples – before wrapping them up with an overall air of honesty in each recording.
At Most A Kiss
Blossoms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At most a kiss, this time
I'll be the boy, I'll packet the earth
Into the abyss, we'll climb
At most a kiss, this time
Is it on?
Someone said that you left town
Someone said that, boy, she's gone
If it's time, then I'm yours, so let me know
She wedded her man
Let's elope to Japan
Between the Rosemary wilds we'll hide
I thought I was your boy, the earths on hold
I'll packet a stone I find
At most a kiss, this time
Is it on?
Someone said that you left town
But I've been holding on too long
Someone said that, boy, she's gone
If it's time, then I'm yours, so let me know
I was thinking you were always mine
We watched the skies fall down
We'll carry on when worlds divide
This party beast that makes no sound
Is it on?
Someone said that you left town
But I've been holding on too long
Someone said that, boy, she's gone
If it's time, then I'm yours, so let me know
At most a kiss
At most a kiss
At most a kiss
At most a kiss
The lyrics of "At Most A Kiss" by Blossoms seem to be about a romantic relationship that is about to end. The first two lines of the song, "I wrote to fear, to disappear / At most a kiss, this time" imply that the singer is afraid of losing the person they love, but they are willing to settle for just one last kiss before they go their separate ways. The following lines, "I'll be the boy, I'll packet the earth / Into the abyss, we'll climb," suggest that the singer is willing to do anything to make the relationship work, even if it means going to extremes.
The chorus of the song, "Is it on? / Someone said that you left town / But I've been holding on too long / Someone said that, boy, she's gone / If it's time, then I'm yours, so let me know," reveals the uncertainty and the desperation the singer feels. They are not sure whether the other person is still in the relationship, but they are holding on to hope that things can be salvaged.
In the second verse, the singer expresses their desire to run away with their loved one, saying, "She wedded her man / Let's elope to Japan / Between the Rosemary wilds, we'll hide." However, this plan seems unlikely, as the singer realizes that the other person may not see them as a suitable partner, saying, "I thought I was your boy, the earth's on hold / I'll packet a stone I find." The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's uncertainty and longing for clarity.

I wrote to fear, to disappear
I wrote because of my fear of disappearing
At most a kiss, this time
I only expect a kiss, nothing more this time
I'll be the boy, I'll packet the earth
I'll be the young lover and I'll do anything for you
Into the abyss, we'll climb
We'll go on an adventure and take risks together
Is it on?
Are we going to do this or not?
Someone said that you left town
I heard you might have left town
But I've been holding on too long
I've been waiting for you for a while now
Someone said that, boy, she's gone
I heard that you may have left with someone else
If it's time, then I'm yours, so let me know
If you're ready for a relationship, I'm ready too so just tell me
She wedded her man
You got married to someone else
Let's elope to Japan
Let's run away together to Japan
Between the Rosemary wilds we'll hide
We'll find a secluded place in nature to be alone
I thought I was your boy, the earths on hold
I believed I was your only love interest and now everything feels uncertain
I'll packet a stone I find
I'll keep a memento of our love
I was thinking you were always mine
I thought we were meant to be together forever
We watched the skies fall down
We were present during a difficult time and we got through it together
We'll carry on when worlds divide
We'll stay strong and overcome any obstacles
This party beast that makes no sound
Even though I may seem carefree, my feelings for you are deep
At most a kiss
All I want is a simple kiss
At most a kiss
I don't expect anything more than a kiss
At most a kiss
A kiss would mean everything to me
At most a kiss
This is all I'm asking for

I wrote to fear
It disappeared
At most a kiss this time
I'll be your boy
I'll pocket the earth
Into the abyss we'll climb
At most a kiss this time.
Is it on?
Someone said that you'd left town
But I've been holding on too long
Someone said that "Boy, she's gone"
If it's on then I'm yours
So let me know.
She wedded her man
Let's elope to Japan
Between the rosemary wilds we'll hide.
I thought I was your boy
The earth's on hold.
I'll pocket a stone I find
At most a kiss this time
I was thinking you were always mine
We watched the skies fall down
We'll carry on when worlds divide
This heart it beats but makes no sound
At most a kiss
At most a kiss
At most a kiss
At most a kiss

I'm in my 50's,and haven't enjoyed a new band as much as Blossoms for years. Saw them live recently, and they can do it live as well.
Margaret Cundall
I'm 71 and I really like them...I remember in 2016 when they were voted best newcomers.. I've kept track of them ever since... Watching how they've become a very popular and well loved band....

Absolutely love this band so much, seen them three times now and they never fail to impress me. First saw them in 2013 and immediately knew they were going to be massive. They deserve all the success they get. Keep it up lads!

Bands like Blossoms and Temples truly sound like they belong in a different decade. Such great music.
