The title of ‘If You Asked For A Picture’ is borrowed from a line in the 1986 poem Dogfish by Mary Oliver. “There’s a part of the poem that says: ‘I don’t need to tell you everything I’ve been through. It’s just another story of somebody trying to survive,’” Teitelbaum has explained.
“Something I love about songs is that you’re showing a snapshot of a person or a relationship, and showing a glimpse into a story can be just as important as trying to capture the entire thing. Sometimes it’s even truer to the entire picture than if you tried to write everything down.”
Blondshell’s 2023 self-titled debut album received five stars from NME, who noted: “‘Blondshell’, then, is a complete triumph in several ways. Rarely do emerging artists receive the benefit of the doubt to change tack, recalibrate their sound and allow their lived experiences to develop and find their way into the music. Too often is that creator pigeonholed or, worse, written off – and such could have been the case for Teitelbaum. Instead, we have one of the alternative rock albums of the year, and one to treasure tightly for quite some time.”
Since then, she has released the single ‘Docket’ alongside Bully, which NME recently named as one of the best songs of 2024.
