Australia’s Blusher released their EP Should We Go Dance? on July July 14th. The EP is a soundtrack to the best night out with your friends; the grit, glitter, confidence, chaos and confessions. The songs correlate to different parts of the night; getting ready together, crush confessions in the bathroom, and yelling with your friends in the middle of the dance floor. From sensitivity and shyness in “Softly Spoken”, to the chaotic confidence of “Hurricane Chaser”, Blusher wanted the EP to encapsulate the wonderful range of emotions that they have put on full display within female friendships.

Says Blusher on their latest single “Limelight”: We wanted our EP to sound like the best night out with your friends; the grit, glitter, confidence, chaos and confessions. The songs correlate to different parts of the night; getting ready together, crush confessions in the bathroom, and yelling with your friends in the middle of the dance floor. From sensitivity and shyness in Softly Spoken, to the chaotic confidence of Hurricane Chaser, we wanted the EP to encapsulate the wonderful range of emotions that we put on full display within female friendships.

Most of the music was created in Lauren’s bedroom while we drank lots of tea and spilled all our secrets. Writing this EP was such a fun combination of forces. We swapped instruments, read from each others’ journals, and layered all our vocals together to create what we call the “fourth member of the band”. Lauren is head chef of production, Jade is a vocal melody machine and Miranda can write basslines in her sleep. It was important to us to make sure the EP sounded as powerful, honest and unique as the women we were writing about (ourselves lol).

When we first met, we found we shared a love for hard hitting, dancey pop, sparkly synths and drum machines. We all get nostalgic over the same deep cuts by Robyn, Kesha, LCD Soundsystem and MGMT. When listening to our EP, we want people to feel grounded in the pulsing bass lines, pulled by the pace of the chopped breaths, and energized by the euphoric synths. We all sing, and we love to experiment with our vocals, we laugh, yell, chant and turn our voices into production elements. There was a lot of laughing and dumb jokes involved, and also a lot of experimentation.
