Blushing take a darker turn on their third single from their next album, pulling from Christina Carmona's (vocals, bass) and Michelle Soto's (guitar, vocals) goth, post punk, and cold wave inspirations.
More blooding than their immediately previous offerings The Fires is the new full length's only track which Ride's Mark Gardener both mixes and masters. Michelle Soto (guitar, vocals) describes the process: “We knew Mark could bring a special element to The Fires. However, just as the mixing and mastering process was wrapping up in February 2021 we lost all power and water for over a week due to a freak blizzard that devastated much of Texas. It caused a most unexpected delay in our ability to communicate back and forth with Mark about the track, who expressed concern for the band’s well being as news of the storm reached all the way to the UK. Eventually the snow melted, lights and internet returned and what we received in the final mix was a punchy, glimmering track, a perfect balance to the dark, brooding tone of the song.”
Possessions was produced by Elliott Frazier (Ringo Deathstarr) and mastered by Mark Gardener (Ride). The album releases on February 18th, 2022 via Kanine Records. Blushing will be going on a West Coast US tour in April 2022 joined by Letting Up Despite Great Faults.
