She expressed pride in the final music product, stating that with each project, she gets closer to achieving her intended musical vision. The album, set for release on September 25 through Partisan Records, has been a labor of love for Teitelbaum and was produced by Yves Rothman, mixed by Beatriz Artola, and mastered by Emily Lazar.
Accompanying the album announcement, Teitelbaum unveiled the title track, “Violins,” along with an accompanying video directed by Sabra Binder. The song embodies the brooding and thoughtful rock sound that fans have grown to love from Blondshell. Teitelbaum’s poignant lyrics, such as “Your battle song sounds like spit on a stranger,” add depth to the track. The music video features Teitelbaum in a room with a blow dryer fixed on an ice sculpture of a fawn. As the fawn melts and bleeds, Teitelbaum tries to save it. The room’s one-way mirrors create an eerie feeling of being watched, reminiscent of dark conceptual art like Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer show in 2001.
