WHAT IT IS: The loud-quiet excavations that comprise 25-year-old Sabrina Teitelbaum’s hook-filled debut as Blondshell don’t just stare traumas in the eye—they tear them at the root and shake them, bringing precise detail to colossal feelings—clear-eyed statements about digging your way toward confidence, self-possession and relief. Powered by crystalline melodies, Teitelbaum’s eloquent songs take root in the concrete: every line is a keyhole to a bigger truth. Blondshell is about learning and unlearning, untangling the ways we’re taught to accept bad behavior, peeling the layers back. These intelligent songs tend to contain the epiphanies of therapy sessions more than pop sessions, even when the hooks are simply a blast.
