Mooseblood - Blush

Rock Sound
To the surprise of absolutely no one who fell in love with their first album or caught the band live in the two years since its release, the forthcoming second from these Canterbury sensitive sorts is a total and utter marvel.
Not just a step up, it even edges toes ever-so-slightly to the left, widening the scope of future terrain, should they desire to explore.
Pairing the same sense of bottled-lightning nostalgia and universally relatable sentiments debuted on I’ll Keep You In Mind, From Time To Time with a heightened note of optimism and breezier melodies, Blush is the soundtrack to the best summer (you wish) you ever had.
Like a sepia-soaked reel of classic movie moments, or yearning, Insta-filtered memories made musical – all condensed into one perfectly formed and punchy set of emotionally hewn songs.
It’s honest, heart-on-sleeve stuff for the daydreamers, true believers and romantics of the world. And the exciting part is the band are only just getting started on what should be a long and storied journey.
As they prepare to embark on this chapter, Moose Blood have sown the seeds of becoming one of British rock’s biggest and most beloved bands.
Just watch them bloom…
