Speaking about the EP, FINNEAS reveals, “At the beginning of 2019 I decided I wanted to make a collection of songs that encapsulated exactly what my life had felt like for the last 18 months. That collection of songs, is Blood Harmony”. He continues, “Almost every song was written and recorded in a Hotel Room or a Tour Bus or on an Airplane or in a Dressing room while I was on tour with my sister. We’d walk off stage and I’d run straight into my dressing room and throw my headphones on and get back to work,” concluding, “Writing and recording this EP was like filling a time capsule with different fragments and memories I’ve made and now, they’re all yours.”
Accompanying FINNEAS’ incomparable debut release, the Los Angeles based artist has released an official music video for his latest single “Shelter.” Directed by Sam Bennett, the video was shot in one take along the Los Angeles River. Watch the video HERE.
Explaining the title of his EP, FINNEAS shares, “I would love for this title to remain ambiguous to listeners and for everyone to be able to imbue it with their own meaning and justification.” As the sole collaborator, producer and elder brother to Billie Eilish, he elaborates. “The most common use of the term blood harmony is an English expression for what it sounds like when siblings sing together, that biologic chemistry—I think that speaks for itself.”
Included on the EP are the already released cuts like poignant ballad, “I Lost A Friend,” lauded as “wonderfully gloomy” [Idolator], the buoyant, up-tempo “Shelter,” which MTV hailed as “a galvanic, acoustic guitar-driven number.” The moody and infectious “I Don’t Miss You At All,” and “Let’s Fall In Love For The Night” which Hilly Dilly praised for its ability to “evoke nostalgia through his vocals and lyrics.” The EP also includes three previously unheard tracks; “Lost My Mind”, “Partners In Crime” and the devastatingly raw, heartbreaking closer, “Die Alone.”
