MUSIC NEWS: Butcher Babies Announce Album Details & Release Video For New Single ‘Blame It On The Wind’
Butcher Babies have announced their new album NIGHTBLOOM, due for release on 2nd October 2026 via Judge & Jury Records.
The band have also released a video for their new single Blame It On The Wind.
“There are certain nights, certain moments, and certain connections you never fully shake. Blame It On The Wind came from one of those nights that should have disappeared in the morning,” explains vocalist Heidi Shepherd. “In 2012, what started as a one-night stand morphed into a connection that would haunt me for years. A moment that we both knew was off limits; however, the forbidden fruit continually pulled us back into that first night. I remember it so vividly; his scent, the way he said my name, his bootcut jeans, the balcony in his Santa Monica loft, and that very first touch. This song is about a lust you can’t leave, a denial of accountability, and a laundry list of excuses for following the white rabbit. I think sometimes we blame the setting for the choices we make because it’s easier than admitting someone genuinely got under our skin. That’s what this song is about for me.”
NIGHTBLOOM is available to pre-order HERE and pre-save HERE.
