BLOSSOMS
RIBBON AROUND A BOMB
EMI
★★★★
Whether the time’s right for droll allusions to weaponry is debatable, but Blossoms’ fourth album’s unfortunate title appears to be the only thing about it that’s anything less than benevolent. If there’s any criticism to be made here it’s that one can’t imagine them offending anyone, from young kids to the grannies who once filled Pebble Mill studios.
