Bladee reveals Sulfur Surfer and shares eerie new single Blondie

Bladee announced Sulfur Surfer on 16 May, setting up a quick new album rollout with the project due on 20 May via Trash Island. The news follows two recent singles and arrives with a new track, Blondie, accompanied by a video directed by Joe Ward. The video’s tunnel setting and dramatic lighting give the song a cold, cinematic atmosphere, matching Bladee’s long-running ability to make digital melancholy feel almost architectural.

Sulfur Surfer is produced by Whitearmor, Bladee’s Drain Gang collaborator, which should immediately interest fans who value the emotional chemistry between those two artists. The record also includes a feature from Current 93, David Tibet’s doom-folk project, an unexpected connection that suggests the album may lean into darker, stranger and more devotional textures than a standard cloud-rap release. Bladee has always sat between rap, electronic pop, internet mythology, fashion-world detachment and emotional confession. Sulfur Surfer sounds like another sideways move from an artist who rarely explains himself directly. For indie and alternative readers, this is relevant because Bladee has become a key figure in how underground rap, experimental pop and online music culture now overlap.
