BLONDSHELL — Unveils New Single: “Salad” || Debut Album out This Friday
“Look what you did, you’ll make a killer of a Jewish girl” sings Blondshell at the top of “Salad,” a lyric so searing it almost burns through the speakers.

On the song, Avalon shares, “Intimacy isn’t just the big ticket vulnerabilities, it’s also the breeze blowing little pieces of leaves and dust between two people that you don’t really notice until they’re gone.
