A note from Sabrina Teitelbaum (Blondshell): It feels impossible to think of anything other than the fires in Los Angeles right now. The city I’ve lived in for ten years is burning and the scale of the loss is incomprehensible. In a way it feels dumb to talk about music, but I also think the whole point of art is for it to exist in the context of pain as a small emotional respite… even if just for one moment.

Please stay safe. Thank you for letting me share this with you. 12 songs about searching for love, family and friendship in many right and wrong places.

Blondshell has announced her new album If You Asked For A Picture, will arrive on May 2, 2025 via Partisan Records, the LP was produced by Yves Rothman (Yves Tumor), who worked with Blondshell on her previous self-titled album.

Ahed of the album’s arrival, the project of Sabrina Teitelbaum has shared the “T&A,” the video for which was directed by Hannah Bon and features three rescue dogs (Luna, Rooster, and Radar) matched with male counterparts. It’s a nuanced take on the “men are like dogs” adage and an exploration of the idea that the dogs with the loudest barks are the ones that are the most afraid, exposing a vulnerability deep within the surface of a tough exterior.

If You Asked For A Picture’s title borrows its title from a 1986 poem by the cherished American writer Mary Oliver, titled “Dogfish.” In it, Oliver grapples with the idea of telling one’s own story: how much to share, how much to keep for oneself — all questions Teitelbaum asked herself while writing the forthcoming LP. “There’s a part of the poem that says: ‘I don’t need to tell you everything I’ve been through. It’s just another story of somebody trying to survive,’” Teitelbaum says. “Something I love about songs is that you’re showing a snapshot of a person or a relationship, and showing a glimpse into a story can be just as important as trying to capture the entire thing. Sometimes it’s even truer to the entire picture than if you tried to write everything down.”
