Foolish Loving Spaces


Blossoms


The British band Blossoms might be best
known for their indie pop, but they have also
added art-funk, gospel and grooves to their
musical bow with Foolish Loving Spaces, their
third album. It all makes for probably their
most vibrantly varied release to date.


FIVE FACTS:



  1. Blossoms formed in 2013 before playing
    their first gig at a cafe in the northern
    English city of Manchester that same year.

  2. The band’s members are lead vocalist Tom
    Ogden, bassist Charlie Salt, percussionist
    Josh Dewhurst, drummer Joe Donovan and
    keyboardist Myles Kellock.

  3. Blossoms released their self-titled first
    studio album in 2016, before the second
    studio album Cool Like You in 2018.

  4. “I pushed myself into corners which I
    wouldn’t normally go to,” Ogden told Apple
    Music about his experience making the
    new album.

  5. He added that the album’s first two tracks,
    “If You Think This Is Real Life” and “Your
    Girlfriend”, are “trying to come up with a
    story from scratch and do a different take on
    a traditional kind of love song.”
