We are now well into the fall months of 2020, and if this time of year leaves you feeling a little nostalgic, then New Noise have got something for you to help ward off the ennui.
Check out the latest song from Blesson Roy below, titled “Stay With You.” It’s a cut off of his upcoming album Think Like Spring, which is ready for release November 27 on Slow Start Records. Stream the song below:
On his new song, Terry Borden aka Blesson Roy, offers the following:
“‘Stays With You’ was a journey into dynamics with the chorus exploding out of the verses. It was a lot of fun and very satisfying to create the verse and chorus as almost two different bits of music that tied together emotionally, but remained separate dynamically.”
Think Like Spring is the upcoming debut album from life-long “music lover and music doer,” Terry Borden, the man behind Blesson Roy, and follows up Borden’s twin 2020 EPs Time Is A Crime and Time Is A Crime (Almost Acoustic).
In his own words, Borden describes Think Like Spring as a “14-song, dreamy pop reflection of a child of 1970s California whose early love of AM radio and his brother’s record collection led to membership in slowcore pioneers Idaho and Pete Yorn’s band Dirty Bird. Living in the U.K. during the explosion of subculture labels 4AD, Creation, Factory, and Rough Trade has also heavily influenced the Blesson Roy sound.”
Think Like Spring was recorded during the COVID-19 lockdown.
On how the new album came about and its influences, Borden explains:
“I was alone in the studio adjacent to my home and had no distractions other than the feeling of being truly alone in the recording space, for days and weeks on end. The positive effect of the pandemic isolation in the studio was the time and ability to focus on the musical details in the songs and extend the searches for the right chemical reactions that manifested in each track.”
