Pip Blom by Erik Smitz
Pip Blom will be putting out their new album in October.
It Should Have Been Fun is the latest preview of Pip Blom‘s second studio album Welcome Break.
“When writing the tracks for the record I wanted there to be a song that didn’t have the structure of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus 2x,” Pip says.
“It’s a common structure of course and I figured it could be cool to switch it up a bit. When the track starts it feels like it’s going to be a very sensitive, calm song. The verses capture the feeling of sadness, disappointment in yourself and someone else. But when the chorus starts the energy switches.”
“It’s more angry, being fed up, wanting to change something, like there’s a tipping point. I really like how the track has these different parts that flow into each other. I can’t wait to play this track live and really give it our all when the final chorus hits.”
Pip Blom were self-producing their follow-up to 2019’s debut Boat at Big Jelly Studio and invited PJ Harvey and St. Vincent cohort Caesar Edmunds to mix the results.
