Blossoms have shared ‘Joke About Divorce’, a pop song born from bad timing
Boys.
Blossoms have unveiled 'Joke About Divorce', their first piece of new material since the expanded edition of 'Gary'. The single arrives via ODD SK Recordings / Distiller Music, with production handled by Shawn Lee.
Approaching a full decade since their self-titled debut earned them a Number 1 album and a Mercury Prize nomination, the Stockport five-piece have consistently topped the UK charts.
Speaking about the track, frontman Tom Ogden said: "During every argument, no matter how big or small, there's always that moment where humour could completely disarm you both and diffuse the whole thing. On this occasion, I thought joking about divorce would do exactly that... I just got the timing completely wrong. Instead, it made things worse, and that moment ended up immortalised in a three-and-a-half-minute pop song."
Looking ahead, Blossoms are set to headline Neighbourhood Weekender this summer and will also appear at Tramlines, with further new music expected later in the year.
