Each track seamlessly blends into another, while the group’s irreverent attitude adds an interesting quality to each new direction. Introducing folk and noise-rock elements underpinned by an understated style creates a captivating album. ‘play it down’ is simply enchanting, synthy and earthy.

Label: EMI / Capitol Records Released: 29th March 2024 The debut album from Blu DeTiger is a dreamy indie-pop explosion. Bursting with juicy sound, bubbling synthy-ness and angelic vocals, ‘All I Ever Want Is Everything’ is a total crowd-pleaser. It’s clear Blu knows no half-measures – each track is vibrant and precisely produced. It’s experimental, unexpected, and incredibly earworm-ish. The immaculate, multi-layered production is what truly sends it into orbit.
