"On 'Come Home'... [Blom] taunts some tragic sap who's under the impression they get her... Her guitar gets stuck on a short, glowering riff, detuned and off-balance, like "Come As You Are" minus the sentimentality, as the song's intensity keeps building." -
ROLLING STONE
"'Pussycat' has a slouchy, forever-young attitude punctuated by heavy guitar and driving drums... a perfect millennial anthem." - NPR
"Its lead single, 'Pussycat,' boasts a bothered tone and fiery guitars. On 'Come Home,' that intensity is laser-focused in frontwoman Pip Blom's steady, creeping vocals." - STEREOGUM
"Guitars! Indie rock band Pip Blom does not disappoint with their newest single "Come Home," with lead singer Blom's vocals amplifying the moody yet up-beat track." - NYLON
"A potent set of lo-fi, '90s-influenced rock with angst-fueled lyrics and addictive song hooks." - KEXP
"'Come Home' is powered by some off-kilter guitar leads and a minimal, shuffling rhythm, while 'Pussycat' is a bit more of a rager, and on both songs, it's Pip's instantly likable voice that wins you over." - BROOKLYN VEGAN
"Pip's sound resonates well with the slightly Britpop-reminiscent feel of the wave of ascendant guitar bands here in the UK, calling back to the rougher edges of Blur. Its lo-fi sensibility and understated vocal, though, add a new, unique twist that could take her anywhere." - NOISEY
"Pip is producing quality, unique and enigmatic music way beyond her years." - BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC
Amsterdam indie-rock outfit Pip Blom, named for their dynamic frontwoman, is thrilled to make their US debut today with the release of their new EP Paycheck. (The EP will be available on 10" vinyl on November 9). The EP's release follows a wave of early raves for the band's intense guitar rock sound: Rolling Stone named "Come Home" a Song You Need to Know, praising its "killer post-punk groove" and adding, "
Pip Blom is a 22-year-old Amsterdammer with a perfect post-punk name and a Cobain-ish gift for saying a lot with a little.
"
NPR also declared itself a fan of the band's audacious sound, calling the single "Pussycat" "a perfect millennial anthem."
Paycheck is out now and available for purchase HERE. Pip Blom just wrapped a run of European dates with Garbage and is currently on tour in the UK. Watch this space for updates on their forthcoming full-length debut.
