The online pre-order is now live and immediately enables instant downloads of the lead single “Cocoon” and new track “Doing Good.” Pre-Order Blossom HERE. Released in November, “Cocoon” is quickly becoming a 2017 smash. On Spotify, the track quickly amassed over 19 million plays and counting, while stirring up 4 million-plus YouTube/VEVO views with its gentle and seamless fusion of electronic vibes and folky singer-songwriter flourishes. In addition, the song has reached Top 25 at Alternative radio with early support from Sirius XM, Alt Nation and more. Former schoolmates Clemens Rehbein and Philipp Dausch comprise MILKY CHANCE —The Duo explain “Cocoon” was inspired by trying to find a period of reflection on the runaway success of their first album, Sadnecessary.  Or, in Clemens’ own words, “trying to find a place where you can be yourself and not be distracted; to slow down and reflect on yourself.”  Time describes “Cocoon” as “Somewhere between the folksy rock of Vampire Weekend and the haunting electropop of Beach House,” adding that it’s, “low-key alt-rock that appeals to indie listeners and mainstream pop fans.” Indie Shuffle writes, “They have wonderfully upbeat songs and can also put on a pretty solid live performance,” and Indie Obsessive claims, “The band’s sound combines deep, organic warmth instrumental arrangements” and “it also brings forth a palpable sense of returning to a place of serenity.” The band also announces a string of “Before Blossom” tour dates including a stop in Toronto March 17.  Tickets go on sale tomorrow, January 17. It will be the first tour with new music from the band since the release of Sadnecessary three years ago. See details below. Tickets can be purchased here. The band has also released the first chapter of their “Blossomentary” which can be found on their website. Chapter 1 allows fans to virtually follow Clemens & Philipp to their studio where they recorded their new album, see inside the studio and act as a virtual sound mixer while the band performs “Doing Good” acoustically, and explore many other surprises. The more the user explores, the more he is able to unlock and discover. This is the first of three chapters which will be revealed leading up to the album launch. “Cocoon” and “Doing Good” hint at what’s on the horizon from “Blossom” – their documentary gives you an insider look. Be sure to keep an eye out for more chapters to be released coming soon. Featuring the multi-platinum global hit “Stolen Dance”, 2014’s Sadnecessary earned ecstatic praise from People, Spin, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Nylon, BlackBook, and more, solidifying the group as one of the year’s biggest breakout success stories. Following the release, the young German duo played gigs all over the world which included Coachella Music & Arts Festival, legendary outdoor venue Red Rocks. BLOSSOM Track Listing:
