LA musician Shab Ferdowsi is an expert at tapping into relatable topics while making the catchiest fuzzy guitar pop with her project Blushh. While, last year’s Song of the Day, “Do I Look Tired?,” was a succinct hook-filled headbanger, today’s Song of the Day, “All My Friends,” is a power-pop guitar noodler with a group sing-a-long. Ferdowski says this about the song:
“Last year I moved back into my parent’s house for about 10 months. I was 20 miles away from all my friends and I slowly but surely started spending more nights at home than I did hanging out. I was caught between not wanting to go out to begin with and starting to feel detached, both physically and emotionally, from my social life.
“Safe to say that’s probably where this song stemmed from, lyrically. Sonically, this is the beginning of the most collaborative work Blushh has seen to date. I spent months with my band working on a batch of new songs, which is something I’ve never done before. The gang vocals kill me every time and I hope they rip your hearts out too.”
“All My Friends” follows last year’s Thx 4 Asking EP. Blushh will be in Seattle on Friday, June 14 to play the Sunset with Summer Cannibals and Dreamdecay. Below, watch the video for Thx 4 Asking track “I’m Over It,” in which Ferdowsi has every reason to truly be over it.
