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.
Care For
Blossoms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm my old self again
I've got to learn something
From my mistakes and now
She only gets better
She is beyond measure
She is my dead center, said enough
It's all that you care for
I'm here and this is
Love's true devotion
I rise, then I fall
Won't you please piece my
Heart back together again?
She is so self-assured
As she walks out the door
She's quite the optimist
Who never likes to call it quits
And when the day is over
She pulls me in closer
She stops me in motion
Ocean's calm
It's all that you care for
I'm here and this is
Love's true devotion
I rise, then I fall
Won't you please piece my
Heart back together again?
Again
Again
Again
Ahh
It's all that you care for
I'm here and this is
Love's true devotion
I rise, then I fall
Won't you please piece my
Heart back together again?

Once more
Ahh

@Alex I didn't like their Foolish Loving Spaces album but their first 2 albums are definitely not shite
Alex
I mean they probably just thought it was easier giving how bland their music was before anyway, shite band, elevator music
Oliflowers
@Léia Castelo I feel that 'Foolish Loving Spaces' and 'Cool Like You' had more sounds of the early 80's, especially 'Cool Like You", had references to that decade
Léia Castelo
I actually always to see them like that
Adam Rushbury-Reynolds
Love how Tom and the bands overall stage presence has grown over the past few years. Love this tune and can't wait for the new album
Clewso
I was going to comment this. I love the fact Tom has ditched the guitar for most songs and can just waltz around the stage as he pleases. Honestly makes it so much more enjoyable
CG GAMING
These guys are so underrated
Emma Ashcroft

Jeff Fang
