Blossoms reckon with expectations on their new single, 'Perfect Me': "It's about this perfect being that doesn't exist"

Blossoms have released a new single, 'Perfect Me'.

It's the latest cut from their upcoming fifth album, 'Gary'. With the full-length set to arrive on 20th September, they've also not long shared the title-track, the video for which features Rick Astley, and 'What Can I Say After I’m Sorry?'.

Speaking about the new single, Tom Ogden says: "‘Perfect Me wasn’t done in the normal way we make songs. Normally I write the song at home and then bring it to the lads. We just made this one from nothing. We had a synth sequence and built it up from scratch in the studio. The spontaneity of it resulted in it having a lot of energy. It’s about this perfect being that doesn’t exist."

Tom continues: "The heart of this record is about the five of us recording live in a room together for the first time in years. We wanted to capture the energy of what it’s like when five friends decide to start a band and make music together.
