You can almost feel the sunlight flickering through the backseat window while watching Blossoming Mums’ beautiful new video for "Autumn In Massachusetts.”Shot on an iPhone during a meandering drive down a country road somewhere near the Massachusetts/Vermont border, the video is as relaxing as the washed out harmonies and vocals.A collaboration between Robert Robinson (Sore Eros) and Amanda Freeman (Baby Barnyard project), Blossoming Mums create relaxed and ambient haze from a small town in Western Massachusetts.Dithering Mornings, their new cassette released on Night People records has tracks that at times sound like fellow New Engalanders MV & EE and at others more like the folky pop that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Woodist release.We had a quick chat to Robert about the video and Blossoming Mums.Noisey: Besides the changing leaves what are your favourite things about autumn in Massachusetts?
Robert Robinson: Carving pumkins, hooking up a mic through a reverb pedal into my amp and making scary noises at ‘trick or treaters’ that come to my house, it’s the last chance to play wiffle ball until the next year, (I built a wiffle ball field in my back yard) and of course, mums.The song has a very relaxed feel.
I'd just got back from a long tour with Sore Eros, and the Renderers. It was also Amanda’s birthday and we were just jamming in her living room. The song came out naturally. All the lyrics and riffs were written on the spot.‘Dithering Mornings’ is available now from Night People.
