Vents speaks with Blesson Roy and premieres the "brilliant" new song "Bed Of Roses"

SONG PREMIERE & INTERVIEW

Terry Borden of Blesson Roy recently gave an in-depth interview with Vents Magazine, which has the premiere of his first new song since the release of the Think Like Spring album in late 2020: “Bed of Roses.” The track will be released this Friday via Slow Start Records as part of a new EP headlined by a remixed and remastered version of album highlight “Ana Left Spain.” Listen now, and learn much more about the man behind Blesson Roy.

About the new song, Terry says, "I love and listen to lots of post punk and pop from the 80s, and the roots of much of that music from the 60s and late 70s etc. I was listening to Pavement, Lou Reed, Kitchens of Distinction and PJ Harvey almost exclusively around the period 'Bed of Roses' was written."

It's Psychedelic Baby shares the Sweetened version of Blesson Roy's sublime "Undertow"

VIDEO PREMIERE

It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine has the premiere of the Sweetened version of Blesson Roy’s “Undertow,” created by Sweeten (aka Tom Gorai, who has produced videos for Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, A Tribe Called Quest, and more). From Think Like Spring, out now on Slow Start Records. Sweeten previously directed the video for “Should’ve Known Better,” also on Think Like Spring.

About the song, Blesson Roy says, “‘Undertow’ took on a darker and lusher soundscape than I had originally imagined, having written that one as a Leonard Cohen or Nick Drake-influenced acoustic guitar song. As the recording unfolded, however, I realized that ‘Undertow’ needed a dark ambient soundscape rather than a stripped-down acoustic production. I had the time and intention to be open to following songs in one direction, and then going in the opposite musical direction, until it seemed that the song had found its way home in the recording.”

Under The Radar premieres "Should've Known Better," the new Blesson Roy video featuring a biker who biffs

PREMIERE

A masked Los Angeles, featuring a cyclist who biffs it and a liquor store parking lot dancer who clearly does not… “It’s basically the designed cinematic and aural engaged focus, rhythm, and pacing of a real ’climactic’ human moment,” says director Tom Gorai (aka Sweeten) of “Should’ve Known Better,” the new video from Blesson Roy.

Under The Radar Magazine just premiered the clip, writing that the song conjures the “bright tones and sweet melodies of Britpop. Amidst a jangly guitar-led instrumental and sharp vocal hook, Terry Borden takes listeners on another trip back through his record collection, showing his ability to incorporate and synthesize styles as both a creator and a fan."

Find the song on Think Like Spring, out now via Slow Start Records.

PREMIERE

Great writeup at V13 on Blesson Roy’s new lyric video for “Should’ve Known Better!” The site writes, Think Like Spring finds Blesson Roy in his zone, emphasizing his lifelong love of music, both as an artist and as a fan.” The video was put together by the extraordinarily talented Hector Gallardo at Subharmonic City, who has done quite a lot to help shape the Blesson Roy visual world.

About the LP as a whole, V13 contends that “ultimately, Think Like Spring is an album focused on positivity and renewal, a very topical theme that comes at an important time where the allure of negativity is all too tempting. We could rest on our laurels and sulk. Or we could take an optimistic tone, and work towards bettering ourselves, just as Blesson Roy has done with his latest creation.” The record’s for sale on Bandcamp via Slow Start Records - use code “ThinkLikeSpring” for a 20% discount at checkout!
