Blossoms, the UK's chart-topping indie band, have recently signed with Distiller Music for the release of their new single, 'Joke About Divorce'. This move marks a significant shift in their partnership strategy, as they've chosen to work with former Orchard executive James Moodie, who recently joined Distiller as MD. The band's decision to follow Moodie to Distiller highlights their desire for a similar hands-on approach to their new album's creative direction and marketing strategy.
In a statement, Blossoms expressed their excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing their preference for creative freedom and a fast-paced work environment. They've been known for their independent spirit, producing music videos and developing creative campaigns themselves. This new partnership with Distiller seems to align perfectly with their vision.
The single 'Joke About Divorce', produced by Shawn Lee, has already gained recognition, being named Radio 1's Hottest Record for the April 20 edition of the New Music Show with Jack Saunders. This achievement underscores the band's ability to create music that resonates with audiences and critics alike.
Blossoms' journey to the top has been marked by a series of No.1 albums, including their 2024 release, 'Gary', which topped the charts and showcased their talent for crafting chart-worthy songs. Their partnership with The Orchard, following several LPs with EMI (then Virgin EMI), has been instrumental in their success, but the move to Distiller signals a new chapter in their musical journey.
As the band prepares for their summer festival appearances, headlining Neighbourhood Weekender and appearing at Tramlines, their collaboration with Distiller is set to shape the future of their music. With Moodie's expertise and the band's creative drive, the upcoming album is expected to be a significant release, further solidifying Blossoms' status as one of the most important bands in the UK.
