Blueprint Blue

Taken from Thomas Cohen's debut album 'Bloom Forever'

VINYL: http://italianbeachbabes.bigcartel.com/product/ibb031-blueprint-blue-undertoad-12-ep Having already shared a handful of demos earlier this year, it is with great excitement that Italian Beach Babes announce the release of Blueprint Blue's debut EP, Undertoad. The EP was recorded with the help of some of the band's friends at The Horrors’ studio in East London, and was engineered by Joshua Hayward (The Horrors) and Jerome Watson (The History Of Apple Pie), who also produced it. Undertoad will be released on 5th May. The band say of the EP, "We wanted to capture what our shows are like so it was recorded completely live and we kept in all the mistakes, bum notes and snare buzz. The first three songs are about either being a parent or having parents. The last song is about having panic attacks. The title ‘Undertoad’ is a reference to John Irving’s novel ‘The world according to Garp’." Blueprint Blue is Melissa Rigby and Huw Webb of S.C.U.M and Astral Pattern, alongside Elliot Hayward. They are inspired by artists like CSNY, Crazy Horse, Manassas and The Band.
