Blanket Announce ‘Blue Eyes’ EP + Drop New Single and Music Video
Blanket is a post-rock band from Blackpool, UK, known for their powerful and atmospheric soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Foo Fighters, Deftones, and Failure, they create music that is both emotionally charged and technically impressive.
Formed in Blackpool, Blanket began as a solo project by vocalist and guitarist Bobby Pook. As the project grew, Pook brought in other musicians to help develop the sound and eventually formed a full band lineup.
In 2016, Blanket released their debut album, “Our Brief Encounters,” which received critical acclaim and established the band as a rising force in the post-rock genre. Their follow-up album, “How To Let Go,” released in 2018, further cemented their reputation for crafting immersive and impactful music.
In addition to their studio releases, Blanket has also gained a reputation for their intense and captivating live performances, which have earned them a loyal fanbase across the UK. In 2021, Blanket signed with the new label Church Road Records, joining a roster of other talented and innovative artists. With their unique blend of influences and their dedication to pushing the boundaries of post rock, Blanket is poised to make even greater waves in the music industry in the years to come.
Today, they have announced the upcoming release of their new EP, ‘Blue Eyes’, via Church Road Records. As well as releasing the title track from the EP, alongside a video.
In the bands words:
This EP is kind of a transition record for us as we head towards a hopefully a new record some time in the next year. There has been an evolution of our sound and approach to songwriting, and a new lineup, with our new drummer Lucas Fletcher, and we see ‘Blue Eyes’ as an introduction to the composite of our diverse influences, and representative of blanket in 2023. We’re also including some never before released songs including our own interpretation of some of the music we’ve been influenced by including a Radiohead cover we worked on with our friends in Palm Reader, a cover of John Murphy’s ‘In the House, In a Heartbeat’ from 28 Days Later, and an acoustic version of Post Malone’s ‘I Fall Apart’.
