Pip Blom is both the name of the band and its leader, a dynamic 20-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist. Paycheck, the group’s new EP, is a roaring, attitude-laden offering that maintains their playfulness and knack for melody that’s earned comparisons to Blur and Courtney Barnett. In 2017, a series of hooky singles Pip uploaded to the internet hit over a million plays, bringing a sudden burst of overseas accolades. The singles sold out quickly, and El Diablo (run by Guided By Voices \/ Yoko Ono manager) has pressed up just 500 copies of this 10” vinyl. The EP is something of an older sibling to Pip’s previous 7”s, doubling up on the infectiousness of those early hits but with a bigger crunch. Festival appearances and energetic, gripping live shows around the UK and Europe have solidified the band as a rising star in a new generation of indie guitar bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HhVzdFI7BYk\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Persona Non Grata","offers":[{"title":"10\"","offer_id":50437786337611,"sku":"1036009","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d68d0850-778a-4279-8760-79f5e1014061_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726935186"},{"product_id":"welcome-break","title":"Welcome Break","description":"\u003cp\u003eActively seeking out moments of creative-authenticity, be it via a slightly- out-of-tune guitar or proudly-fuzzed vocals, Pip Blom take us back full circle and introduce us to their \u003ci\u003eWelcome Break\u003c\/i\u003e- an eleven-track release which resonates with about as much decisive allure as it’s \u003ci\u003eBoat\u003c\/i\u003e precursor, but this time with a bit more contemporary chaos to boot. Where Boat reckoned as a fresh-faced, yet gloriously fearless game- changer, \u003ci\u003eWelcome Break\u003c\/i\u003e is the self-assured older sibling who, with an additional year or two behind themselves, isn’t afraid to speak out, take lead, and instigate a liberated revolution-come-bliss-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing an extensive touring schedule which saw the Dutch 4-piece roam over field, oceans, and Glastonbury’s John Peel stage following the release of their debut record \u003ci\u003eBoat,\u003c\/i\u003e any such cool-cat would be forgiven for wanting to kick back, and indulge in some very appreciated, time off. As is often the way, such timely-abandon cannot be said for Pip Blom however, who immediately began to gather up all her soaked-up inspirations taken from the road, and manifest a re-energised sense of self, and ritualistic songwriting. It’s at this stage in our indie-fairy-tale that things start to get ever so 2020. Whilst the world was suddenly put on hold as a result of Covid-19, Pip Blom, who’d made plans to return to their favourite ‘Big Jelly Studios’ in Ramsgate, England, were suddenly faced with a very sticky, kind of dilemma. “We’d scheduled to go into the studio in September but summer started moving and there were a couple of countries not allowed to go to the UK anymore... a week before we had to go, the Netherlands was one of those countries”- notes Pip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn total, three weeks were spent recording what would become the groups sophomore release; a Al Harle engineered love-affair which was self- produced entirely by the band and culminated in a legally intimate, fully- seated album play-back, to six, of Ramsgate’s most chorus-savvy and ‘in- the-know’ residents. Getting out of their hometown and into an environment which removed all notions of “normality” or personal space, was an atmospheric godsend in terms of motivation; an act which encouraged Pip Blom to re-adjust and buckle down as a unit again, after spending so long in mandatory isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heavenly","offers":[{"title":"Orange | LP","offer_id":50465350615371,"sku":"1125099","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50465350418763,"sku":"1125097","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50465354350923,"sku":"1125096","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/eddadcc1-0221-4739-8498-a68788555b5a_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727287116"},{"product_id":"boat","title":"Boat","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmsterdam based Pip Blom (guitar and vocals), her brother Tender Blom (guitar and vocals), Darek Mercks (bass) and Gini Cameron (drums) release their debut album of ten songs after a slew of singles on various indie labels (gotta catch em all)!
