Produced by Jessica Boudreaux and featuring contributions from longtime collaborators Audrey Zee Whitesides (Speedy Ortiz) and Ricardo Lagomasino (Lucy Dacus), the record blends textured indie rock, alt-rock, and pop influences into something both intimate and electrifying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Villain\u003c\/em\u003e is more than a breakup record — it's a searching exploration of shifting perspectives, moral complexities, and the archetypes of villainy we encounter in ourselves and the world around us. From the pop-punk sharpness of \"I'm So Bored\" to the fragile acoustic vulnerability of \"Gabriel,\" each song stands as its own carefully crafted gem, making this one of Blum's most ambitious and compelling works to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(209, 72, 65);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling Time Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e ** Please allow an additional 4-5 business days for this item's shipment. **\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Get Better Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: 07\/11\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1.
