Blossom Hall

Indie Rock band Blossom Hall has released a new original Christmas song, “Midnight Mass.”

The chiming, folksy track sways like boots strolling across crunchy snow and is described by the group as “a smoky, meditative dirge of spiritual doubt” that is “more in the vein of Charlie Brown than Wham,” in terms of holiday songs. The aforementioned doubt can be found in lines like, “I want you here with me/On Christmas Eve/It's up to you/I don't know what I believe.”

“Bask in the nostalgia and melancholy that many of us feel around this time of year,” the band’s statement concludes.

“Midnight Mass” — which features slide guitar from the great Cincinnati guitarist Stephen Patota — and more Blossom Hall music can be streamed and/or downloaded now at blossomhall.bandcamp.com. - CityBeat

Just a few days before Cincinnati-based garage-pop band Blossom Hall is set to perform at Final Fling, WMSR Redhawk Radio’s Senior Editor Annie Eyre talked with Blossom Hall’s singer/bassist Nancy Paraskevopoulos about musical maturity, risk-taking, and the band’s upcoming debut album, Pyre.... - Redhawk Radio

"For fans of The Pixies and The Zombies, local act Blossom Hall is right up your alley. The jubilant trio... are weirder, poppier, and more experimental than most other bands coming out of Cincinnati right now. Their EP Parasols hits heavier than one might imagine... Their lyrics take the lead and allow for a lot of jamming out, with a central synth presence and persistent guitar....Boogie, people!" - Inhailer Radio

"The trio...recently released their first official single, the reflective yet propulsive "It's Easy To Want to Die", inspired by Paraskevopoulos's near-drowning experience. A full Blossom Hall album is in the works; hopefully additional material will require no further brushes with death for inspiration... You'll dig it if you dig the quiet insistence of Belle and Sebastian, or the loud insistence of Blondie." - Midpoint
