Nymphlord – Blood & Potions

Emerging singer-songwriter and producer Nymphlord releases “Blood & Potions,” the second single from her upcoming sophomore EP Rough Blue Blanket, out May 23 via Lauren Records.

A frenzy of pitch shifting synths and garbage truck samples, the song is meant to mirror the hormonal chaos of puberty, telling the story of Nymphlord’s first kiss.

“My middle school crush’s friends really did buy Blow Pops and Tic Tacs to get us to kiss,” Nymphlord explains. “Then they hid in a bush behind Baskin Robbins and watched. It was ridiculous. That whole phase of life was ridiculous. That’s why I wanted this song to have a little bit of that ridiculousness too.”

On upcoming EP Rough Blue Blanket, Nymphlord crafts a collection of unique and intricate coming-of-age songs, a lush meld of acoustic instrumentation and digital experimentation. Recorded across four studios and just as many seasons, the songs on Rough Blue Blanket, which might otherwise be disparate, find cohesion through Nymphlord’s delicate lyricism. She has a knack for presenting memories as impressions, laying out rhymes like ephemera scattered across a grandparent’s desk, waiting for a curious hand to piece the story back together.
