Blossoms live at Maida Vale & Biffy Clyro drop in

Jo's live from the Maida Vale studios and is joined by Blossoms in session, playing tracks from their latest #1 album 鈥楩oolish Loving Spaces鈥�. Plus Biffy Clyro drop in.

Jo's broadcasting live from the 大象传媒's Maida Vale studios and joined by Blossoms in session, playing tracks from their latest #1 album 鈥楩oolish Loving Spaces鈥�.

'Foolish Loving Spaces' was produced by the band鈥檚 consistent and talented team of James Skelly and Rich Turvey at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool.

Since forming in 2013, Blossoms have enjoyed widespread success and acclaim. Their 2016 debut full length topped the album charts for two consecutive weeks and went on to earn the band BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominations, while 2018鈥檚 Cool Like You charted at number 4 in the UK album chart, spawning the anthemic singles I Can鈥檛 Stand It, There鈥檚 A Reason Why (I Never Returned Your Calls) and How Long Will This Last?

Plus Biffy Clyro drop in with their brand new single 鈥業nstant History鈥�, which is the first track to preview their forthcoming eighth studio album.

鈥淭his time around we wanted to lead with something that was the most out there thing which we鈥檝e got on the record. 鈥業nstant History鈥� is the biggest, most slammest pop moment we鈥檝e ever worked on,鈥� enthuses frontman Simon Neil. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a fantastic opening statement, although musically it doesn鈥檛 reflect the album鈥檚 direction. But thematically it鈥檚 a good pointer for what the album is about: learning from mistakes and realising how you can move things forward. Things can be similar although they鈥檒l never be the same, but let鈥檚 not be scared of that.鈥�

And whether you鈥檙e picking up or dropping off, Jo provides the soundtrack for the Taxi Service.
