Song Recommendation: “Bleu” by Baleine (2025)

I mean. Listen to the first 20 seconds and look at the album cover–with its sunglass-bedecked flying purple pufferfish shooting out a laser beam for a silhouetted surfer to ride–and you should have everything you need to know on if you’re going to enjoy this thing or not. Groovy, sometimes experimental, jammy instrumental rock with a tight-as-hell three piece unit composed of two guitars and drums, Baleine presents an extremely fun album that’ll be a perfect reminder of windy spring beach days for the upcoming hot summer doldrums.
