Sonic Glow in the Grit – Blofeld Sands Find Fire in “Never Been Easy”

Sometimes a song doesn’t knock – it surges in. That’s what Blofeld Sands have done with Never Been Easy, their second single that blends urgency with shimmer in all the right ways. From the first cymbal hit to the last echo of the hook, this is indie-rock soaked in neon light and coastal air — propulsive, melodic, and just unpolished enough to feel alive.

Building on the buzz of their debut People, this track channels the pulsing heart of New Order and the moody elegance of The Cure, yet never feels like a throwback. Instead, Never Been Easy rides its own high-tempo wave, where chiming guitars and a locked-in rhythm section keep things sprinting forward. It’s dream rock, yes — but the kind that’s wide awake and sprinting through a rainstorm.

The repetition of the hook isn’t lazy — it’s hypnotic. It burrows in, becomes mantra-like. By the time the track crests in its final chorus, you’re not just listening — you’re inside it. There’s tension here, a sense of trying to outrun something invisible. But there’s also release, even joy.

Blofeld Sands are no longer just promising — with Never Been Easy, they prove they’ve got the spark, the sound, and the soul. File this under “repeat listen,” and let it rip.
