Blondshell will release her new album Violins, on September 25th via Partisan Records. The LP was produced by Yves Rothman. “I felt like I didn’t need to overexplain anything, like I can trust the people listening more,” Teitelbaum says. “It feels like every time I make a record, I get closer to making the thing that I really want to make, says Sabrina Teitelbaum.”

The accompanying music video is a dream-like visual directed by Sabra Binder (Suki Waterhouse, Willow). The clip features Blondshell confined to a room as she attempts to save a fawn-shaped ice sculpture from melting, incorporating sculptural imagery reminiscent of Alexander McQueen alongside nods to surrealist theater.

Giving fans an early look at what’s to come, today Teitelbaum releases Violin’s title track and emotional centerpiece. Serving as the record’s North Star, Teitelbaum puts music to an unassuming, everyday piece of dialogue – “It’s not overnight / It takes all my focusing / ‘It’s like watching paint’ / Wait, what’d you say?” – to capture how true healing from trauma takes a lifetime, but its resonance extends to anyone clawing their way towards growth that requires patience. Sonically “Violins” pairs turbulence with tenderness as it moves from a delicate opening into an explosive, hook-heavy chorus, marrying guitar-driven urgency with pop instinct and a playful record-scratch interruption with the “Wait, what’d you say” part.

Speaking on the new track, Blondshell shares:

“This song sums up the album in a lot of ways. When I was writing I felt really drawn to images of patience and kindness, for example putting your head on someone’s shoulder, alongside images of violence. I was also inspired by the idea of healing slowly and refusing to be rushed by any outside force. Things genuinely just take the time they take. I’m not at a point in life where I can have a no assholes policy yet, but I like the idea of weeding out people that aren’t going to let me have limitations.”

Last month Blondshell shared Violins’ ‘Heart Has To Work So Hard’, which marked her first new music since the release of her album If You Asked For A Picture and its companion release Another Picture (featuring Conor Oberst, Samia, John Glacier, Gigi Perez, and more).
