Overview

  • Released on May 2, 2025, 'If You Asked For a Picture' marks Blondshell's shift from confessional indie-rock to a broader, folk-rock sound.
  • The album's lyrics explore themes of past trauma, dysfunctional relationships, body image struggles, and systemic misogyny in music spaces.
  • Inspired by a Mary Oliver poem, the album treats its songs as intimate snapshots, with a grainy tattoo-focused cover reflecting its personal tone.
  • Producer Yves Rothman helped craft a sound influenced by 1990s icons like the Cranberries and Sheryl Crow, with Beach Boys-inspired vocal overdubs.
  • Teitelbaum will promote the album with late-night TV appearances, a global headlining tour, and festival performances at All Things Go and Mad Cool Festival.
