On “Blister,” Yumi Zouma shares, “We found strength in simplicity, discovering that the more stripped-down we went, the more forceful the impact became. “Blister” surged ahead on the back of our most anthemic riffs, conjuring images in our minds of C4, Channel Z, prepaid flip-phone text plans, and the Big Day Out main stage under the punishing heat of the hole in the ozone layer.”
