Indie pop troupe Blonds return with new single 'Yesterday'.
Out now, the single is a sunshine piece of summer-kissed guitar pop, with its lilting melody and gorgeous vocal pouring out of the speakers.
A song that came almost instantly from rehearsals, 'Yesterday' seems to encapsulate all that is promising about Blonds.
Refulgent of verse, biting of chorus, it's a snappy, ultra-catchy return, with Blonds aiming for the effervescent.
A project that hinges on songwriter Luciano Thomas, the West Coast talent explains…
"It came to me in a dream. I was sitting in the open trunk of my car from high school, watching a beautiful sunset at a beach near the university I attended, and I was strumming away on my guitar singing the song. I wrote it down and recorded it the second I woke up because I loved its simplicity and catchiness."
"To me, the song is about the commodification of nostalgia, or wanting to buy back moments from the past to relive them. In the dream, the song was titled 'Coca-Cola Classic' as a reference to when Coca-Cola rebranded their original soda following the disaster of 'New Coke' as a real life example of purchasable nostalgia. Ultimately, I felt 'Yesterday' would be a better, less esoteric title."
Tune in now.
