Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Singer and songwriter Sabrina Teitelbaum had a dalliance with pop music as BAUM that included the viral "Fuckboy" before having serious second thoughts. Uninspired by the music she was making and even the choice of alias, she scrapped a completed EP and corrected course. Taking inspiration from '90s alternative acts such as Hole and PJ Harvey, she swapped stage names to Blondshell and returned to the studio with the same producer, Yves Rothman (Kim Gordon, Girlpool), to record a set of indie rock songs she described as more authentic to herself. The hooky, distortion-injected results fit in alongside such candid, snarling contemporaries as Snail Mail and Indigo De Souza while differentiating themselves with a rare sense of humor -- especially rare given topics like romantic and substance addiction. The dramatic revenge fantasy "Salad," for example, offers confrontational sentiments like “Look what you did now/In my sleep I am a murderer” only to lead into the resigned opening of "Sepsis," which begins like a punchline with the words “I’m going back to him/And now my therapist’s pissed." The volatile set closes on the more serious "Dangerous," in which she admits that she's scared of her friends. Along the way, despite some familiar musical touchpoints, she establishes a personality that's all her own. ~ Marcy Donelson

In the past few years, Sabrina Teitelbaum AKA Blondshell has transformed into a songwriter without fear. The hook-filled songs on her self-titled debut are clear-eyed statements of and about digging your way toward confidence, self-possession, and relief. All of this is powered by brilliant, crystalline melodies, and gigantic choruses that are wrapped with shredding guitars. Teitelbaum grew up in a classic rock-loving household. During an era of sleek teen pop, her most formative childhood obsession was the Rolling Stones. In high school, she discovered new indie-rock bands by scouring NYC venues with her fake ID in hand these shows instilled in her a love for lyrics with specificity and intensity. When Teitelbaum moved to Los Angeles for music school in 2015, she began forging a different path. She dropped out after two years, but before she did she studied music theory and the art of harmonies. She then found herself writing songs inside the world of pop studio sessions.
