Texan shoegazers, Blushing, have been very much solid and consistent with their releases, having already brought on a couple of excellent EPs and a few strong singles. The quartet's anticipated debut full length is long overdue, but it's finally underway, coming out September 6th, 2019 on vinyl through Wallflower Records (US) and on CD with Hands and Moment Records (Japan).
After the previously revealed, The Truth, Sunshine and Dream Merchants, all of which have a place in the band's upcoming self-titled record, the freshly unveiled, So Many, is the album's opening number, and also the fourth piece we get to sample off it.
Inspired by guitarist and vocalist, Michelle Soto, and her son, and the paralleled obstacles they both witnessed going through life, having to deal with problems such as anxiety, indifference and attention issues, the new song is a gripping presentation of a venturous emotional journey, juxtaposing Blushing's strengths on both the quieter and the more explosive moments of their gazey dreampop sound.
So Many comes with a creative video, starring the band's own, Christina Carmona.
Just like the previous singles and the rest of the upcoming LP, So Many was recorded, mixed and produced by Elliott Frazier of Ringo Deathstarr with whom Blushing are soon embarking on a joint summer tour.
