Ribbon Around The Bomb

Ribbon Around the Bomb is the fourth studio album by English indie pop band Blossoms. It was released on 29 April 2022 by Virgin EMI Records. Stephen Ackroyd of Dork praised Blossoms as a "band that don't just connect in the here and now, but who are now making records to last for the long haul." Clash commented that the album was "endearing, prodigiously rich and ambitious" and "might well be their finest body of work to date." Louder Than War described the album as: "Classic, unfussy songwriting, instant hooks abound as the Stockport five-piece produce their most consistent record to date." The Evening Standard gave the album 4/5, praising it by writing: "From ABBA-ish jaunts to NYC odes, the five-piece are sounding rather more worldly". It added: "They’re growing up, but haven’t lost sight of what makes them so appealing."
