Dessa - "Blush"

Thirteen tracks. Thirteen voices that dared to break silence.

From Daniel Ellsberg handing over the Pentagon Papers to the modern struggles of Matthew Chenoweth Wright, Blow traces a lineage of whistleblowers who chose truth over comfort, disclosure over complicity. Each track takes its sonic cues from the era and mood of its subject — folk protest, punk defiance, electronic paranoia, glitch-jazz catharsis.

This isn’t a history lesson; it’s a soundscape of risk and revelation. Every whistle blast becomes a note, every secret unveiled becomes rhythm. The album moves chronologically, building a tapestry of courage and consequence: Cold War secrets, corporate scandals, digital leaks, and finally the physicist’s own coda.

Blows aren’t always clean, and neither is this music — it’s urgent, jagged, insistent. These songs remember those who raised alarms when the world wasn’t ready to listen, and they ask: when the next whistle sounds, will you hear it?
