Blossoms have announced their new album ‘Songs From The Wedding Cake’ along with details of their UK arena tour.
The Manchester indie band will drop their upcoming sixth studio album on October 2nd via ODD SK / Distiller Records – pre-order/pre-save here.
So far, they’ve kicked off with lead single ‘Joke About Divorce‘, and today (June 18), they share new single ‘Meet Me In Love’ – along with an album trailer featuring The Inbetweeners‘ James Buckley. With backing vocals from Declan McKenna, the ‘Meet Me In Love’ video stars Maya Jama and Callum Scott Howells.
Produced by Shawn Lee (Young Gun Silver Fox), the album will also feature a collaboration with McKenna on the track ‘Additional Driver’. On social media, the band also teased appearances from Rick Astley and Inhaler frontman Elijah Hewson.
Blossoms called the record “an absolute joy” to make on social media, adding: “Written and recorded over the last year, it’s a collection of songs about what might seem like ordinary moments, viewed through an extraordinary lens… joking about divorce, hire cars, crying at the Kardashians, Wikipedia rabbit holes, trips to The Range, falling asleep in a taxi, your arm going numb because someone’s asleep on it, the 192, being an additional driver on your wife’s insurance and losing her 20 years’ no-claims bonus (ffs), dancing in the kitchen to Grease, crying at videos of dogs on Instagram, picking up parquet flooring, saying the wrong thing, growing older together… you get the idea.”

We last spoke to Blossoms in 2024, where frontman Tom Ogden opened up about collaborating with CMAT on their album ‘Gary’.
“That was definitely a breakthrough moment,” Ogden told us. “I heard her album while I was record shopping in Brighton, and every tune was just blowing me away, so I went up to the counter and asked who it was, and it turned out she was playing in town that night. We went to see her in this tiny venue – it blew us away, and Myles cried. Then we went for a few drinks around some pubs in Brighton and had a great laugh.
“When it came to writing the album, we’d booked some time away in Wales, which she ended up coming along with us for the week. There was this injection of adrenaline into the band, and we came out with two incredible songs.”
