Blues Pills is a Swedish band with a load of power and with dynamic vocal range from a fiery female talent. With 2 previous albums, both charting, the band has ably cut a path for rabid fans. They have adorned their two albums with EPs and two excellent live sets. Most fans, myself included, are pleased to know that Blues Pills returns with a brand new album.
In March, Blues Pills announced the upcoming release of their next album, Holy Moly!. At the time, there were no artwork nor were there a tracklisting. All of those are now available.
On June 19, Nuclear Blast will present the new Blues Pills album in a variety of forms including a limited edition with a bonus CD. The bonus CD is Bliss, the band’s 2012 four-track EP (“Bliss”, “Astralplane”, “Devil Man”, “Little Sun”). Both CDs will come in a digibook package. The standard CD issue CD will join DD, and two vinyl editions. One is a limited edition red/gold splatter color vinyl LP housed in a gatefold jacket. The other is a standard black vinyl set.

Cool, they’ve went back to a heavier rock sound. I hope that is indicative of the entire album (I’ll be buying regardless). I wasn’t pleased with the direction they took with “Lady In Gold”. Still love the first one though.
I dig the heavy psychedelia *with organ* myself, but will never turn down quality heavy 3-piece psychedelia with these awesome vocals.
I said I didn’t like the direction they took, but that 2nd album was still one of the best releases of the year for me. I just didn’t like it as much as the 1st. I’m just glad they are still around. It had been so long, I was afraid they’d disbanded.
I also have to admit I like the “go-go” vibe Ella is sporting in this video. Brings back a lot of memories from the “Laugh-In” era.
