Don't Waste Your Time: Listen To Blessed's Creepy Cool Debut, "Waving Hand"

It’s creepy, but cool, in a way that will make you feel creepy and cool, too.

It’s tough to put Blessed into one, two, or even 100 genres. Born out of the same scene that brought us Greys, NEEDS, and White Lung, Blessed’s sound is weird, noisy and harsh, drawing from surf, rock and post-punk in equal measure. It's if Radiohead decided to go back to playing guitars and singing actual words with a Siouxsie and the Banshees twist. It’s creepy, but cool, in a way that will make you feel creepy and cool, too.

Their debut single "Waving Hand" has a sexy intricacy that will only make you want more. It’s ominous, it's heavy, stepping back and blazing back in with a powerful guitar and drumming that will enchant you. But above all, the song maintains a minimalistic vibe, almost as if it's hunting you.

Listen to “Waving Hand” now, you creepy cool human, and then patiently wait for their self-titled, self-released EP, out May 20.
