http://www.mediafire.com/?h24iikfi6m6756v For months, I have been raving about Blum. I was able to download the “First Blum” EP when it was first released. It was then taken down (to be remastered I assume?) but now, it has been officially released again! I SERIOUSLY suggest you take a listen to this. It’s an eargasm…soul quivering…and just all around incredible. I was fully submersed into this EP and it’s gotten me through some rough and joyous moments these last couple of months. it also features two vocalists who i love—Anna Wise of Sonnymoon and Kelton Blacksheare of Monroe. So, make sure you also check out those groups as well! Enjoy.

Just some BLUM lovin’ :)

“I’ll Always Be In Your Heart”-Blum ft. Kelton Blackshear (of Monroe) and Anna Wise (of Sonnymoon)

not only should you fall in love with Blum, BUT check out Monroe and Sonnymoon. They’re both fantastic. (i always brag about Sonnymoon but Monroe is equally as awesome!)

oh. does anyone realize how fulfilling this video is? I wish I was able to see this live!
