2nd studio album from Kassel, Germany's Milky Chance. Blossom follows 2014's Sadnecessary, and it was recorded with three members as the group has since become a trio. Clemens Rehbein's distinctive vocals mix with guitar-driven midtempo production that combines the band's German folk leanings with electronica, funk, and some world music notes. Includes the songs: "Doing Good," "Ego," "Blossom," and "Firebird," 14 tracks in all. Released by Republic Records.
