Blossoms working on third album

Blossoms frontman Tom Ogden has started writing songs for the bands third album.
The British indie band only released their second studio LP ‘Cool Like You’ back in April but Tom and the rest of the band – Charlie Salt, Josh Dewhurst,
Joe Donovan and Myles Kellock – used their time off from touring in April to start creating tracks for their next record.
Speaking to NME, Tom said: "I’ve been writing new stuff as well, which will be make up our third album when the time is right. We had a bit of time off in September so we just got our heads down. The songs are sounding really good. We’re just not stopping really. We’re in a weird transitional place at the moment because we’re still touring the second album and it’s still sounding really fresh."
Tom insists it’s too early to say what direction the next LP will take but he has revealed to fans that there will be more guitars and less synthesizers on the songs.
He added: "It’s early days so I don’t want to say too much, but there are more guitars on it. On the second album we went down more of a synth route. This time I went back to writing on the guitar and songs just started falling out of me.
"I’ll always write about myself as all songwriters do, but I’ve been trying to force myself into corners that I wouldn’t normally go into through storytelling."
Blossoms have just announced that they will be playing a headline show at their local soccer club Stockport County FC’s Edgely Park ground on Saturday June 22 where they will be supported by The Coral, Cabbage, The Blinders and Fuzzy Sun.
It is the biggest concert of their career to date and Tom says for the band it is the equivalent of when Oasis played two nights in April 1996 at Maine Road, the former ground of their beloved Manchester City.
The ‘Charlemagne’ singer said: "It means so much to us. It’s a stadium show in the middle of our hometown and no one has ever done a gig there before. There are rows and rows of terraced houses around the ground and to be there means the world.
"It will be a real moment and definitely the biggest and best thing we’ve ever done. Oasis had Maine Road, Arctic Monkeys did Don Valley in Sheffield. You want that all day event where you go down in the afternoon, the sun’s blazing and you’ve got five bands on for a mini festival. That’s the vibe we wanted to create in the middle of Stockport. That’s never happened before."
