First Blush is the brainchild of Charles Sekel, a former Juilliard piano student-turned-indie-musician. After releasing two EPs, First Blush EP (2012) and Supersynthetic (2013), Sekel went on a performing hiatus while he wrote and recorded songs for a full-length LP. The resulting album, Monologic, was released on July 14th, 2017

First Blush's music centers around themes of depression and addiction, and the struggle to be optimistic while journeying through the darker corners of the psyche. Borrowing from sources as diverse as The Beach Boys and The Who to M83 and The Flaming Lips, First Blush melds its influences under a cloak of distorted and atmospheric textures.

First Blush has performed extensively in and around New York City, playing venues such as The Bitter End, Tammany Hall, Sullivan Hall, and Pianos.
