Blondshell’s self-titled era isn’t over yet. Come October 6th, Sabrina Teitelbaum will issue a digital deluxe edition of her debut full length, which she’s previewed with the new song “Street Rat.”

Originally released in April, Blondshell channeled the indie rock of the 1990s with modern flourishes courtesy of producer Yves Rothman (Yves Tumor, Girlpool). The promising LP featured “Salad,” the best song of 2023 (so far), and earned Teitelbaum the chance to open up for Liz Phair on her upcoming tour.

The deluxe edition expands Blondshell from nine tracks to 14, featuring the new songs “Street Rat,” “Tarmac 2,” and “It Wasn’t Love,” as well as a demo version of “Kiss City” and the previously released standalone single “Cartoon Earthquake.” Today’s melancholy offering features über fuzzed out guitar as the artist realizes she probably has a problem with a substance. “Wouldn’t feed that to a street rat, but it’s around,” she sings bleakly.“I wrote ‘Street Rat’ the day we finished tracking the album so it really feels like part of the same era to me,” Blondshell said of the track. “If I had written it one day earlier it would’ve been on the album. It’s a song about all of the mental gymnastics behind wanting to give up a bad habit, but not being able to despite knowing you should.”

In the past few years, 25-year-old Sabrina Teitelbaum has transformed into a songwriter without fear. The loud-quiet excavations that comprise her hook-filled debut as Blondshell don’t only stare traumas in the eye – they tear them at the root and shake them, bringing precise detail to colossal feelings. They’re clear-eyed statements of and about digging your way toward confidence, self-possession, and relief. Sabrina shed her previous, pop-leaning project, Baum, and the process emboldened her. Subtracting self-consciousness became a catalyst for the lucid songs of Blondshell, on which her experiences all coalesce to form her truest expressions of self yet. “It was me, as a person, in my songs,” she says. When she showed a few to producer Yves Rothman (Yves Tumor, Girlpool, Porches), he encouraged her to write an album, joining a chorus of friends saying, “This is you.”
