Some people think it might be a stupid idea… but Blossoms wholeheartedly disagree. Their latest album, ‘Gary’, is a testament to their fearless creativity and innate ability to produce chart-topping hits with a twist. Here’s a glimpse into how a fibreglass gorilla named Gary sparked one of the most intriguing albums of the year.

  • The album’s genesis was as unconventional as its namesake — a tale about a stolen gorilla named Gary turned into a smash hit.
  • With a nod to the humor-laden track ‘Your Girlfriend’, ‘Gary’ keeps the fun rolling and the bass throbbing.
  • Embracing their independence, Blossoms departed from their record label to produce ‘Gary’ on their own terms, birthing a sound unapologetically theirs.

Some people think it might be a stupid idea, but I think we can get away with it. It feels very us,” says lead vocalist Tom Ogden.

As they embraced their authenticity, collaborations arose — most notably with alt-pop sensation CMAT. What transpired was a fusion of creativity that churned out instant hits like ‘I Like Your Look’.

The band remains true to their roots, capturing the energy and dynamic of their live performances in the studio, transforming each track into an electrifying dance anthem.

With ‘Gary’, Blossoms showcase their adeptness at reinvention and their dedication to the craft, ensuring that even the most outlandish idea can become a beloved hit.
