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.
The Keeper
Blossoms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was lost but now, now I see
You bring light and dark, dark undone
The sea that floods is love, love someone
Oh girl, you are the keeper
I could swear my heart won't break in time
My love runs deeper
I am blessed by skies, skies of blue
If you knew how I feel, feel for you
Catch me when I fall, fall from grace
Tear down all my walls, walls they break
Oh girl, you are the keeper
I could swear my heart won't break in time
My love runs deeper
Let's spend this life as one until we're bones
I'll hold you, I'll kiss you
I'll stone for you, I'll miss you
I'll hold you, I'll kiss you
I'll stone for you, I'll miss you
I'll hold you, I'll kiss you
I'll stone for you, I'll miss you
I'll hold you, I'll kiss you
I'll stone for you, I'll miss you
Oh girl, you are the keeper
I could swear my heart won't break in time
My love runs deeper
Let's spend this life as one until we're bones
Until we're bones
Until we're bones
Until we're bones
Until we're bones
(You are the keeper) until we're bones
(My love runs deeper) until we're bones
(You are the keeper) until we're bones
(My love runs deeper)

Lyrics:
I wander through these dreams, dreams you keep
I was lost but now, now I see
You bring light in dark, dark undone
The sea that floods is love, love someone
Oh girl you are the keeper
I could swear my heart won’t break
In time my love runs deeper
Let’s spend this life as one
Until we’re bones
I am blessed by skies, skies of blue
If you knew how I feel, feel for you
Catch me when I fall, fall from grace
Tear down all my walls, walls they break
I’ll hold you
I’ll kiss you
I’ll stone for you
I’ll miss you
Until we’re bones
You are the keeper
Until we’re bones
My love runs deeper
Until we’re bones
You are the keeper
Until we’re bones
My love runs deeper
Until we’re bones
