Blondshell [Clear Vinyl] (LP)
Blondshell
Amoeba Review
Blondshell’s self-titled album is the debut from LA musician Sabrina Teitelbaum, formerly of the more pop-oriented BAUM. During the pandemic, Teitelbaum started writing grungier, more rock ’n’ roll tracks and Blondshell is the rewarding result. On “Veronica Mars,” what starts as a quirky yet bristling look back at the past soon becomes a full-out scorcher. “Kiss City” has the rhythms of seductive ‘80s R&B and the soaring guitars of dream pop, a rush of emotion that feels like falling in love/lust. On the album, Teitelbaum uses gritty rock ’n’ roll and self-deprecating lyrics to approach intense emotions: What if I let this kill me?” she sings off a less-than-stellar, addictive relationship on “Sepsis.” The combination gives her a unique voice in the current indie rock landscape, and if Blondshell the album is any indication, Blondshell the artist is one of the most compelling artists in a while.
