Pip Blom live in Manchester (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Pip Blom continued their UK and Ireland tour in Manchester last night, February 9th.
Pip Blom are out on the road after the release of their second album Welcome Break last year, one Live4ever summed as, ‘a drawer full of love letters you can’t not help yourself to reading out loud’:
“Opener You Don’t Want This sets a confident tone which marks a progression from their debut and that’s rarely relinquished, an example of craft which the singer refers to as, ‘Not sugar-coated-happy pop…more like ‘Titanic’ pop’.”
“Also newly discovered is a sense of build, It Should Have Been Fun moving through gears after a moribund start, a break-up song just before the break – ‘This is something new, lots of blurry nights/You can’t find out the truth, the reason for the fight’ – ultimately bridging the chasm between sadness and anger with a good old fashioned letting of it all out.”
