Pip Blom have shared details of their second album.
Recorded with engineer Al Harle at Ramsgate's Big Jelly Studios, the follow-up to 2019's 'Boat' is called 'Welcome Break' and will arrive on October 8 via Heavenly Recordings.
As a preview, the Amsterdam band have unveiled the first single, Keep It Together, a light, dreamy slice of power-pop punctuated by vocals from singer and guitarist Pip Blom, and her younger brother Tender. Pip said:
"A very important thing of all the tracks is the dynamic between Tender's and my vocals. I feel like we really compliment each other’s tones. Maybe it’s because we’re siblings, but whatever it is, I love it. In the chorus of Keep It Together, we sing two completely different bits, but it works really well. Tender did a lot of singing for this record, mainly for the choruses and bridges. I really like how with this bridge you’ve got this whole choir of the two of us singing in different keys. It gives it a very dreamy vibe that is nice after the powerful chorus."
The track comes accompanied by a 1980s-inspired music video, directed by Danny and Isabelle Griffioen.
