Info for Violins

'Violins', the third album from Blondshell, finds Sabrina Teitelbaum digging in. Following her acclaimed 2023 self-titled debut and 2025's 'If You Asked For A Picture', the 11-track 'Violins' trades the veil of bad romantic relationships for something braver, asking how we balance the world's violence with its beauty across songs about troubled friendships, religion, the body, and the long, unglamorous work of healing. It's an album of grandeur, drama, and tragedy, built on virtuoso hooks, swelling guitars, and big lead lines, pulling in fresh touchstones from Gang of Four, Teenage Fanclub, The Go-Betweens, and Sade, alongside lyrical nods to Leonard Cohen and Pavement. From the anthemic frenemy portrait of "Heart Has To Work So Hard" to the sunny, insomniac daydream of "Lucky" and the disarming closer "Fur Elise," 'Violins' captures the sound of an artist who has stopped overexplaining and started rendering art on her own terms.

Sabrina Teitelbaum aka Blondshell
Loudquietloud. The formula patented by Pixies, which gave its name to their documentary, is still a contemporary pattern that has been especially effective (Kim Deal's fault?) in American alt-rock singer-songwriters such as Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy and, sometimes, Phoebe Bridgers (and has also caught on with some Australians, like Julia Jacklin). L.A.-based New Yorker Sabrina Teitelbaum aka Blondshell, has also started her career following this mountain-valley-mountain arrangement. At least Olympus, one of her singles that has generated a buzz of excitement and drawn so much admiration (she is already going on tour with Porridge Radio), has everything that can be asked of a new indie-rock talent today: a classical air, lyrics without clichés (and they deal with sex, love/heartbreak and addiction) and youthfulness. In Kiss City, the other hit that has captured everyone's attention, she mirrors the illustrious languor of Hope Sandoval and Maria Mckee. Another indie niche that Blondshell nurtures with care, freshness and a spirit of renewal.

This album contains no booklet.
