The Blinders

Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath

A dark blues-waltz underpinned by propulsive bass and evocatively prosaic lyricism, the music of The Blinders straddles the lines between ode and lament while addressing life’s confusing crossroads. Their upcoming album, 'Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath', which was recorded at Manchester’s Eve Studios alongside producer Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Anna Calvi), and mixed by Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse). The follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut album, 'Columbia', released in 2018, the album explores existential despair, mental health and society’s ills in a time of planetary crisis, and is both a riposte to, and commentary on, the rise of populist ideology. Delivering a blistering collection of powerful tracks, 'Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath' is imbued with the visceral energy of IDLES, the twisted melodies of solo-era Lennon and the darkness of the Bad Seeds. Following the album’s release, the band will head out on a run of intimate dates, with shows in Edinburgh, Hull, London and Southampton, between slots at festivals including Live At Leeds, Sound City, Hit The North and Sonic Wave, with much more to be announced. Full dates and information can be found below. In the shadow of Brexit and the climate crisis, The Blinders return with their unique brand of outspoken anthemicism and a sensational album to rouse awareness and inject vital energy into a bleak 2020. Combined with their blistering live energy, get ready for The Blinders to accelerate furiously into the limelight.
