London’s Blousey share new single ‘Chances’ and announce debut EP
Six-piece Blousey are all about donning black blazers, puffing out chests, pushing back hair, and belting out a big fat chorus. Within a live show that elsewhere sets its stall on pounding gloomy gothic rumbles a la 80s Nick Cave, new single ‘Chances’ serves up a glinting and melodic moment. Via an artful introduction, the band dole out the kind of ruffled, roguish charm that might recall a Small Faces garage belter, but that’s also fringed with the violin-twiddling, saxophone-blasting orchestral vernacular that, in 2025, befits those London grassroots hotspots the band habitually frequent.
Carrying in its lyric the sincere and heartfelt notion that the best friendships can be born from the unlikeliest of places, ‘Chances’ is the proud and trenchant statement of a band that channel all the freedom of hedonistic late night adventure, of feeling timeless and invincible until you are not. And what is more, you’re all invited.
The release also anticipates an upcoming EP ‘The Precipice’ due for release in full on 29th May.
