Blondfire - Waves
New Music Video
Artists on the Rise
You hear them when you try to fall sleep
They crash to the shore they come from the deep
As sure as the sun will rise the sun will set
You taste the salt the closer you get
Waves-picking you up
Pushing you down
They’re always around
Waves-just like a dream
Silver and green
We live in between
They can carry you all the way to me
They can pull you out to The deep blue sea
Oh waves, there are waves
Empires will crumble to the sand
All that you love can slip through your hand
But you must face the ocean once again
Follow the tides wherever you’ve been
Waves-picking you up
Pushing you down
They’re always around
Waves-just like a dream
Silver and green
We live in between
They can carry you all the way to me
They can pull you out to The deep blue sea
Oh waves, there are waves
FAVORITE SOUNDS - BLONDFIRE is sibling duo Bruce and Erica Driscoll (she sings, he produces) who have been writing, producing, playing and performing together since they were kids. Erica's soft, breathy, haunting vocals are at the forefront of a sonic landscape in the vein of MGMT, the Smiths, and the Cardigans. Blondfire were the first unsigned band to reach #1 on the iTunes Alternative chart - drawing the attention of Warner Brothers, who signed the band to their Modern Art imprint earlier this year. Since then, their amazing breakaway single, "Where the Kids are," went #1 on Sirius AltNation. I've written back and forth with Erica for about a year now and it's been exciting to see this happening for them.
We were lucky enough to catch the band play their last set at SXSW 2013 (we'll run those photos at a future date). The latest news it that Blondfire will be opening for Foals on a two-month North American run that kicks off TODAY in Houston, TX and runs through June. They will also be performing at this year's Lollapalooza festival.
