BLUMS ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM ‘SUNK COST FANTASY’, & SINGLE ‘CASHOUT’
New York City artist Blums, the project of songwriter and musician Kelsea Feder, has announced her debut album Sunk Cost Fantasy, due August 7, 2026 via Take Care Records. Alongside the announcement comes lead single “Cashout,” a tense, synth-driven track that explores memory, catharsis and destructive cycles.
Built around pulsating synths, pounding drums and soaring operatic vocals, “Cashout” captures the push and pull between living in the moment and being haunted by the past. The track spirals into a chaotic crescendo, mirroring the emotional turbulence at its core.
Speaking on the track, Feder said: “Initially, I wrote this all on guitar and a GarageBand drum beat in 2022 or 2023, none of which made it into the final version. I came home from a night with a guy during which I had a pretty unpleasant memory pop up and wig me out during what was supposed to be a fun time. It unlocked a lot of unpleasant memories/anger during what was supposed to be a sexy, fun time, and I wanted to turn it into a celebration of catharsis.”
