British band Blossoms are back in full bloom with their latest single, “The Honeymoon.” This track is the second taste of the deluxe edition of their fifth studio album, “Gary.” Shimmering with warmth, wistfulness, and some melodic daydream only Blossoms could conjure, it is a joyous tribute to love’s rose-colored glow.
“The Honeymoon” beckons you into a getaway between vintage romance and retro synth-streaked pop. Tom Ogden’s vocals waft over the track like a sunbeam through lace curtains, effortlessly capturing that bittersweet in-between feeling of joy and yearning. The band’s signature charm flows through the song with an elegant arrangement that feels intimate and luxurious.
This is magic, and it’s in the band’s chemistry. Charlie Salt’s basslines lay a gentle groove to anchor the track, as Josh Dewhurst’s lead guitar lines flicker like candlelight. Joe Donovan, on drums, anchors the proceedings, and Myles Kellock’s woozy keys enshroud it with a hazy, soft focus.
Produced by the ever-reliable James Skelly, “The Honeymoon” has a clean but organic feel. It’s the song that plays like a memory, the soundtrack to faded Polaroids, sun-soaked mornings, or a late-night drive with someone who feels familiar. Not just with the hazy euphoria of romance but the delicate, fragile beauty of holding onto a moment. If the original “Gary album” already represented a bold new chapter for Blossoms, this deluxe edition, particularly with “The Honeymoon,” promises something more profound. Blossoms are maturing, committing to their storytelling, and letting their sound breathe.
On “The Honeymoon,” Blossoms delivered a soft anthem that’s thoughtful and refreshingly different. So whether you’re in love, reminiscing, or just in the mood for something beautifully assembled, this track is a sweet, swooning ride.
