Speaking of the new single, vocalist Neill Marshall says:
It’s a very special song as it’s the first time the five of us wrote together. Alina (keys) brought in the chords, originally it was super slow, it first morphed into a naff “Parisian Walkways” for a week or two. Then Adam and I started messing around with the duelling guitar vibrato/bends and we picked up the pace, added a disco verse and everything fell into place.
It’s a song that appears to illustrate a young man (ergo ‘Blond’ rather than ‘Blonde’), feeling wronged via getting teased by a person he admired from afar, his wildest dreams being a non-platonic outcome with said person. The rejection or…lack of a promising starting point in the “relationship” takes a drastic toll on the skinny, fair-haired fella before long.
