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, โEyes On Youโ and โCome Togetherโ, 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 โ before wrapping them up with an overall air of honesty in each recording.
Getaway
Blossoms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought I'd never arrive
You slid in beside and made your home there
You walk and talk like you mean it
Act like you've never been hit
What a perfect fit; I'm glad to be there
A thousand horses race across the sky
Can't have a single day without me and my guy
Don't know if there's another side of me
Know I can't be everything I try to be
I fear I could be the one who's dreaming
We venture deeper in the water
It's not getting any hotter
Skies clear, sun against the water beaming
A thousand horses race across the sky
Can't have a single day without me and my guy
Suppose that all a girl can do is cry
The lyrics of Blossoms' song Getaway depict a complex relationship between two individuals who have had a falling out, but still hold some feelings for each other. The first verse of the song reveals that the singer and a significant other have broken up; however, the singer is still willing to hold a place for this person in their heart. The chorus explores the idea of a potential hook-up, with the lyrics 'I'm over you, get under me/ This is the last time/ Don't say it's the last time/ Call me up/ You've got me choking up/ If we're in love/ Tonight we can get away.' These lyrics imply that the singer is willing to engage in a physical relationship with this person, and the chorus reaches a climax with the repeated line 'Tonight, we can get away.'
In the second verse, the singer's friend warns them that the relationship will never work - but the singer counters that they are best friends with the significant other and that maybe 'what if forever works out.' The song concludes by returning to the chorus, with the singer emphasizing that this is the last chance for a romance to reignite, and they encourage the significant other to call them up and 'get under them.'
Overall, the song Getaway is a complex exploration of emotions involving lost love and the desire for rekindling a failed romance. Blossoms uses rich language to express the complexities of the singer's feelings and presents the tension between whether to move on or hold onto the possibility of love.

Your room, I leave
I'm leaving your room now
Wide door open for me
You left the door open for me to leave your room
Dead leaves upon the grass
There are dead leaves on the grass outside
I walk myself clean through seventy dreams
I'm trying to forget about things by dreaming
We broke like a paper seam
Our relationship ended abruptly
But when it breaks don't cry
Even though our relationship ended suddenly, don't be upset
I'll always hold some place for you
I'll always have a place for you in my heart
I'm over you, get under me
I'm over our past relationship and ready for a new one
This is the last time
This is the last time we'll try again
Don't say it's the last time
Don't confirm that this is the end
Call me up
Get in touch with me
You've got me choking up
Talking to you is making me emotional
If we're in love
If we still have feelings for each other
Tonight we can getaway
We can leave everything behind and be together tonight
Too soon, I'll wait, they say
People think it's too soon for us to be reunited
Boy you should know
You should be aware
This will never work out
Our relationship is doomed to fail
But you say you're my best friend
But you claim to be my closest friend
What if forever works out
What if we end up together forever
Then if it works let's try
Then we should give it a shot
You said how could I
You expressed your disbelief
I say it's a long time coming
I've been waiting for this for a while
You say can we try?
You ask if we should give it a chance
I say it's a waste of time lovin'
I'm skeptical that it will work out
Tonight we can getaway
Let's take a chance and be together tonight
Tonight we can getaway
We can escape from reality tonight
Tonight we can getaway
Let's forget about everything else and enjoy each other's company
Tonight we can getaway
We can finally be together tonight
Tonight we can getaway
Let's leave our past behind and start anew tonight
Tonight we can getaway
We can make the most of our time together tonight

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Your room, I leave, white door open for me
Dead leaves upon the grass
I walked myself clean through seventy dreams
We broke like a paper seam
But when it breaks don't cry
I'll always hold someplace for you
[Chorus]
I'm over you, you're under me
This is the last time, don't say it's the last time
Call me up you've got me choking up
If we're in love, tonight we can getaway
[Verse 2]
Too soon, I'll wait, they say 'boy you should know
This will never work out'
But you say 'you're my best friend boy you should know
What if forever works out?'
Then if it works let's try
I'll always hold someplace for you
[Chorus]
I'm over you, you're under me
This is the last time, don't say it's the last time
Call me up you've got me choking up
If we're in love, tonight we can getaway
[Bridge]
You say how could I, I say 'it's a long time coming'
You say 'can we try?', I say 'it's a waste of time loving'
[Chorus]
I'm over you, you're under me
This is the last time, don't say it's the last time
Call me up you've got me choking up
If we're in love, tonight we can getaway
[Outro]

I'm pretty glad i found this band. They don't try to have some annoying whiny indie rock sound. They have a good pop style and its just good.

Nearly 60 and mainly a rock and metal fan, but Blossoms write classics, and I think for me this is their ultimate. Don't know what it is, but this just has that something.

This melody. That bass. Those lyrics. That lead. Itโs all so lovely
