ALBUM REVIEW: Blame Yourself – Delirium Fantasies

Punkerton Records

Released: 01.02.25

Blame Yourself’s debut album Delirium Fantasies is a distinctive commentary on the human condition. A fusion of indie rock, emo and pop punk, the tracks juxtapose vivacious rhythms with woe-filled lyrics and instrumentals resembling Green Day; upbeat and filled with rage. Opening track Spells questions the commonality of misplaced love – the human proclivity to romanticise and fantasise about undesirable situations, while Wirewalker discusses the excruciating impact of anxiety, from the crippling inability to cope with silence to the fear of change. Final track Glue discusses the intricacies of human desire, how individuals can be like glitter – sources of joy in the darkness – and the fundamental need for enduring relationships. Delirium Fantasies is a captivating addition to Blame Yourself’s growing catalogue.
