Indie pop group Blossoms have released a new video for their track “Everything About Now“, taken from their latest album Ribbon Around the Bomb. The album was only released last Friday (29th April), and they’ve already made a new version of the track in question, with this new video featuring a more “stripped-back acoustic” rendition.
The video comes from a movie accompanying the band’s new album. The film shares the same name as the LP and was directed by Edwin Burdis (known for his work with Arctic Monkeys). The movie premieres tomorrow at Stockport Plaza Theatre, with a special live performance from the group playing the whole album.
The band’s frontman, Tom Ogden, had some words to say about the making of the movie. “We created a script for this film so that we could rip it up…It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Blossoms and such diversely talented practitioners and performers on this project. The Stockport Plaza was a joy to work in and it very much became an unexpected central character of the piece. Whilst a lot of time and care went into crafting the script, the cast and crew had full permission to improvise, which really allowed creativity to flow.”
Ribbon Around the Bomb is the band’s fourth studio LP and follows on from 2020’s Foolish Loving Spaces (which reached no 1 on the UK Albums Chart alongside their 2016 debut). Ribbon Around the Bomb received its own share of positive reviews, with NME’s four-star review saying “It’s a coming-of-age moment for the band, and there’s no question Blossoms have levelled up with this release, sealing their status as giants of the game with more earnest and open songwriting.”
