Openen met een riff waar de broertjes Robinson van The Black Crowes volgens mij stikjaloers op zijn, dan de drum die invalt om vervolgens los te barsten in een track die pure 70's southern grooverock ademt.
Gooi daar een sobere maar swingende videioclip bij en op deze manier geven de heren en dame van Parker Barrow een mooi visitekaartje af en maken ze ons meteen warm voor de release van hun nieuwe album Hold the Mash op 17 juni.

“Blinded” was written by Parker Barrow drummer and founder Dylan Turner, along with guitarist and musical director Alex Bender. Parker Barrow will be on the road in the U.S. for much of the summer, before heading to the U.K. in July for the band’s first headline tour, plus performances at the Steelhouse and Maid of Stone festivals.
“It was one of the first tracks written and recorded for the new album,” says guitarist Bender about the new single. “It helped to give a bit of direction to where we hoped to go with the tracks that were to follow. The main riff sounds very Stonesy. I approached the rhythm guitar parts how I would imagine Keith Richards would play them if he was in the band. Blinded is a good example of the less is more approach where the beauty lies in its simplicity.”
Regarding the lyrics, Turner adds, “It’s so easy for us as musicians to be enthralled by the world we live in, seeking validation from likes and comments that feed the flesh rather than the spirit. I wrote this as a reminder to myself to first seek the kingdom and to not forget the bigger purpose.”
