Mexico City Blondes have shared the first music video lifted from ‘Blush,’ their full-length debut album which is out now via Burger Records. Trip-hop tinged Addio has its roots in a personal loss experienced by vocalist and keyboard player Allie Thompson. Check out the video clip via YouTube below.
“Writing the song Addio, began with a loss.” Thompson says. “Over time, it also became about not looking over your shoulder for the next loss to come around. It’s about accepting the unacceptable, about letting go instead of holding on. ”
Consisting of multi-instrumentalist / producer Greg Doscher, and vocalist / keyboard player Allie Thompson, both from Santa Barbara, Mexico City Blondes achieved surprise success with the release of their first single Fade. The track became a breakout hit after getting picked up by an assortment of music blogs, and landing in the top spot on Hype Machine more than once over the next few months.
The duos full-length debut album, ‘Blush’ was written and recorded in Doscher’s garage recording studio. “The writing was difficult at first because we were approaching it under very different circumstances,” Doscher said of the process of making ‘Blush’. “Eventually we hit a certain stride and all the writing and recording seemed to fall into place.”
‘Blush’ takes Mexico City Blondes deeper down the dreampop rabbit hole they began to explore with their first release and its subsequent EP. Mexico City Blondes debut full-length album ‘Blush’ is out now via Burger Records on CD, cassette and vinyl and streaming on all major platforms.
