Blondshell signs to Partisan Records and shares new single "Veronica Mars"
Blondshell has released new cut "Veronica Mars", which is accompanied by news of her signing to Partisan Records.
"Veronica Mars" is Blondshell's follows her October single "Sepsis", and marks Blondshell's first release since signing to Partisan Reccords.
Blondshell says of the track, which is teamed with a Dylan Friese-Greene-directed video, "I was obsessed with the [US teen drama] show Veronica Mars as a kid and I was revisiting it around the time I wrote this song. I wanted to sing about that childhood era when I was being exposed to a lot more than I was comfortable with. "Gimme shelter" refers to the song but I’m also saying please give me shelter from graphic TV and film, from New York City, overwhelming lyrics, etc. I think the song is just about having my boundaries crossed and the effects of those transgressions (for example, growing up to think men are hot if they’re assholes)."
As well as releasing "Veronica Mars" today (6 December), Blondshell discusses her career as Blondshell so far and her forthcoming debut album in Best Fit On the Rise feature.
Blondshell's "Veronica Mars" single is out now on Partisan Records. She'll play The Great Escape on 11 May 2023.
