Pip Blom and Willem Smit, members of Pip Blom and Personal Trainer, have come together to form new project: Long Fling. The duo’s self-titled debut album, drops on October 3rd, 2025. Live, Long Fling includes Pip and Willem with Sal Rubinstein, Darek Mercks, and Tender Blom. Ahead of the album’s arrival, the duo have shared the track “Flung.” Following the October 3rd release of Long Fling, the band will embark on a seven-date tour across the Netherlands and the UK.

Willem and Pip’s songwriting process evolved from tentative beginnings filled with creative tension to a natural, collaborative flow. Willem reflects: “Over the years, I feel we’ve grown more comfortable making music together… Assembling a record we have been accidentally making without the goal of making a record was fun, but also weird. It felt a bit like archaeology sometimes. We tried to change things… but found out quite quickly that it made most sense to stay true to the initial ideas we had.”

Pip adds: “We’d never done everything including the mixing ourselves before. I think we both felt comfortable doing it this time because we were in it together, and we were okay with the idea that the record didn’t need to be super polished or perfect… When we each asked our dads whether the album sounded more like a Willem album or a Pip album, they both said the other’s name. I really feel like we made this album together – it’s a true blend of the both of us.”
