Blunt Blade’s second album shows a guy who clearly doesn’t give a damn about staying in one lane. “Forgiveness” throws together electronic beats, rock riffs, and classical bits in ways that probably shouldn’t work but somehow do.
The Abbey Road connection isn’t just name-dropping – Gordon Davidson’s mixing and Alex Wharton’s mastering actually matter here. These songs sound crisp without losing their rough edges. You can hear every layer without getting overwhelmed by the chaos.
His baritone voice cuts through all the musical madness like a warm knife through butter. Each track feels like Blunt Blade raided his record collection and decided to play everything at once. But instead of sounding like a train wreck, it comes across as intentional and well-thought-out. The Minnesota musician has figured out how to make his ADHD approach to genres actually serve the songs.
“Forgiveness” doesn’t sound like anyone else’s album, which is becoming increasingly rare these days. Blunt Blade has carved out his own weird corner of music.
