Saint Blonde have signed to Pale Chord/Rise Records and released a brand new single called “Trendsetter,” which can be streamed below. Speaking on the signing, the band shares:
“We feel super grateful to have a team around us now that not only shares the long term vision we have for the band artistically, but also allows us to lean into some of the things that make us unique. Instead of trying to force a sonic quality or viral moment, they’ve allowed us to just be Saint Blonde. And to us that’s really valuable and special.”
On the new single, the band continues:
“‘Trendsetter’ is about the short-lived nature of expression in the current zeitgeist. Everything is so rapidly demanded, consumed, commoditised, digested, spat out, and then forgotten for the next thing. As someone who wants nothing more than to make their art their living, this climate of consumption breeds all sorts of self-doubt, self-consciousness, and unease to make something for other people to enjoy (or what if they hate it, what if I don’t look good enough, what if nobody ever sees it).“
