Violins

Description

Avec Violins, Blondshell finds a virtuosic balance between drama and beauty. Sabrina Teitelbaum, aka Blondshell, returns today with her new album Violins, via Partisan Records and produced by Yves Rothman (FKA Twigs, Yves Tumor, Eartheater). After establishing herself as a new essential voice in rock with Blondshell (2023) and If You Asked for a Picture (2025), marked by guitars alternating between calm and tension and incisive writing, her 3rd album, Violins, goes even deeper. Through the eleven tracks of this LP, Teitelbaum questions how we cope with the violence of the world and its beauty, exploring complicated friendships, religion, the body, and the long, unglamorous work of healing. Teitelbaum's songs are, as always, perfectly constructed, driven by virtuosic hooks, expansive guitars, and lyrical nods to Leonard Cohen and Pavement. By incorporating new influences, the unique sounds of Gang of Four and Teenage Fanclub, the indie-pop precision of the Go-Betweens, and the soothing synths of Sade. Violins sweeps you away like a wave.
