BORN BLONDE

New single Radio Bliss
Released October 31st
Via Moriarty The Cat

Born Blonde return hot on the heels of their debut 7 ‘Solar’ with new single ‘Radio Bliss’. Already NME endorsed, this hypnotic, soulful five-piece are set to build on the soaring atmospherics of ‘Solar’. ‘Radio Bliss’ offers a more structured side to the band’s songwriting. Chiming, hypnotic guitars and keys intertwine to create a lush, widescreen palette of swooning psychedelia.

With reference points from The Doors to Cluster to the Verve, this is a band that is not interested in the mundane. Its heady, spellbinding stuff that is ambitious in scope and indicates the emergence of perhaps the next great modern British rock n roll band.

The richness of sound, allied to singer Arthur Delaney’s enchanting vocal, provide a thrilling live experience, with the band building over the last few months into one of the most exciting and vital band’s around. Radio support has already come from the likes of Zane Lowe and ‘Radio Bliss’ is set to consolidate this and more.
