Artist: BLONDSHELL
Who: American singer-songwriter
Sabrina Mae Teitelbaum

Track: HEART HAS TO WORK SO HARD
First single from her upcoming, 3rd LP.
Details TBA.

“This song is really about friendship and betrayal, getting stuck in a dynamic and letting things fester. It’s about pain and confusion — no one trains you for the ups and downs of a friendship between two women — but it’s also about a love so enduring that you find compassion no matter what.”

TUTV: Another blondshell bombshell.

BAND: GURRIERS
Who: Fast-rising, voltaic indies
from Dublin, Ireland.

Track: NOBODY’S COMING TO SAVE YOU
Title song from their upcoming, 2nd LP.
Out Sept 25th. More info here.

“It’s a song that feels hopeless on its first listen, but if you look at it more deeply it’s a call to action, no one is going to rise up if everyone expects someone else to do it. We all have to do our part in creating the change.”

TUTV: Bedazzling post-punk corker. Infectiously nerve-racking.
These Irishmen continue their indie-supertop quest. You bet.

BLONDSHELL Charms With Melancholic Musing ’23’S A BABY’

New striking strokes

6 April 2025

Artist: BLONDSHELL
Who: Moniker of L.A. songstress
Sabrina Mae Teitelbaum.

Track: 23’S A BABY
Third shared psingle from her upcoming, 2nd LP,
named If You Asked For A Picture. It’ll be out on
May 2.

Blondshell: “The song is partially about being in your twenties and feeling like you’re
supposed to know everything (your parents even had kids around that age!) yet you’re
truly in the weeds trying to figure out who you are. I wanted it to have a bit of a nursery
rhyme feel. It’s a heavy subject so it was important to have fun when we made it.”

Melancholic musing.
