Blessed recently announced their upcoming self titled EP will be self-released on May 20, a week into the band’s massive Canadian tour. The Vancouver based post-punk band’s debut is filled with knotted riffs and crushing dynamics, and their new single “Feel” will take you for a wild ride. Blessed use space and structure to their advantage as much as staccato riffs, stampeding drums, and piercing noise. Inspired by art rock past and present, from Can to Ought, Blessed have a sound routed in complexity with a natural sound that digs its own path of art punk brilliance. The band bounce around like a pinball on “Feel” pulling the intensity out from under the listener at the most unexpected of times only to feed to back in blistering riffs and ominous howls.
