If you love music that feels like a release, the kind that pulls old emotions to the surface and lets you breathe again, you’ll want to hear Blunden’s latest single, Stained.
This Milton Keynes trio blend rock, blues, and atmospheric textures into something deeply honest. Stained feels like the moment you finally step out of an old story and remember who you are.
Lyrically, it hits where freedom begins.
The opening line sets the tone: "Through nights and days, I’ve been scrambling my brain…" That restless, overthinking stage we’ve all lived through.
But the payoff hits hard in the chorus: "Thoughts of you had me stained, now we’re free from all the rain." It’s emotional detox. Release. Growth.
Musically; moody, lush, uplifting
• Reverb-soaked guitars
• Haunting vocals
• A steady pulse that feels like the moment you finally stop running from yourself
