Which is to say that it becomes a character within her music, a presence that you feel always - even more impressive when you consider that many of the tracks were born during Lily's recent studio residency with Future Classic in LA. Maintaining an unfaltering commitment to openness has always been a through-line for The Blossom in her music. To excavate her defences further throughout her debut, she turned to her father, Australian musician Mark Lizotte, who helped produced many of the tracks on the EP. Speaking on their connection, Lily says: "I've written and collaborated with many talented strangers and close friends, but I always gravitate towards my Dad. I think it is because, ultimately, he understands my pain more than anyone, he knows my truth so much it hurts." Across Bleeding Buttercup's six tracks, she not only distils the sounds of bedroom pop but lives inside it, using the genre to explore the emotional and mental terrain of the bedroom, that private micro-world where, unbeknownst to the outside world, so much occurs to you. Blending together dreamy shoegaze, guitar-driven indie, skittering, contemporary hip hop-influenced pop production and Lila's multilayered approach to her vocals, The Blossom's music is characterised by a simmering restraint and a sense of quiet but passionate intimacy that belies the fact that nestled inside every line hides a potential hook.    Bleeding Buttercup by The Blossom is out independently now,  buy/stream it here.

Sydney-raised, LA-based, The Blossom, today releases her debut EP, Bleeding Buttercup. Featuring the singles ‘Bored Baby Blues‘, ‘Wish You Well‘ and ‘Kill My Mind‘, Bleeding Buttercup is a remarkably vulnerable release from an artist who, since sharing her first single at the start of the year, has honed a distinct style for herself – one that’s both romantic and cinematic; HD, widescreen with the static cutting through. Listen HERE.
