Blushing

Chop Suey Presents: Blushingwith MAA and New Age Healers-------Blushing (Instagram | Spotify | Bandcamp) On their recently completed third LP, Sugarcoat (releasing May 3, 2024), Blushings dynamism is on full display, flitting effortlessly from spacey psychedelia to twee pop jangle with finesse and panache. Having once again enlisted Ringo Deathstarrs Elliot Frazier and Rides Mark Gardener for engineering, mixing, and mastering duties, Sugarcoat is a dense, reverb-laden exploration of alt rocks 40+ year history that conjures up concord from chaos. Whether its the post-punk-tinged Seafoam (which happens to feature Jeff Schroeder on lead guitar) or the hypnotic psych of Slyce, Blushing weaves a cohesive musical arc that effortlessly blends their disparate influences into a sonic watermark that is unmistakably their own.
